The Official "Rendezvous" (C'était un rendez-vous) Thread

Here is a photograph of Mssr. LeLouch adjusting the camera on the MERCEDES that was used for the film. The sound of a ferrari was dubbed over.

There have been numerous studies of time vs. distance from landmark to landmark which show the car never exceeded about 80MPH.

Not because it is clever, not that I would recommend doing this at home - its just, well, incredible!

(sorry if its old news - I'm still in shock!)

 

This is probably the most reposted thing here apart from how do I get a factory tour

It should not even be here since its not a Ferrari !

Now thg interesting thread to find is the one after Lelouch released the 'Making of Rendezvous' video last year

Hey ho, Merry Christmas (from Jail)

 

Hahaha! All good mate.

 

The infamous 'Wooden F50' ranks highly up there in the repost stakes also.
As does the 'Hello Kitty Testarossa'.

 

Well even tho it is a repost, (I have never seen it..) I have to ask what try of car was it? It sounds great! Cool video!

Uh..oh! Not a very good idea.

 

Just make sure you DO NOT put some music soundtrack over it, leave the sounds of the car as-is.

 

Not just any Merc my friend. That is the infamous M100 powered 450SEL 6.9


Truly an awesome ride. I owned two of them and I must say there's nothing quite like walking away from most modern performance sedans at a stop light, all while lounging in 4,000lbs of Benz.

Here is what I mean.....(this was my last 6.9)

Are you ok with the fact that you might lose your life?

 

Damn. I'm so disappointed. I was about to post a thread asking if it really sounds that bad a** behind the wheel of a 275GTB or similar Ferrari. I remember seeing the video for sale in a catalog of automotive books. IIRC it was about 40 bucks. I wonder how buyer will feel knowing they paid that much for a video of a Mercedes sedan hitting maybe 80mph?

 

what about the blue F50?

 

Never seen that before and I ashamed to admit that I really liked it. Also wish my Mercedes sedan could replicate such fine noises!

 

It'll be worth it to impress some strangers on the internet!

Right?

 

A wooden F50?!?!?!?!? Are you serious?!?!?!?!? Was it a factory prototype? PLEASE PLEASE More info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!














J/K Pap!

 

I have another one....how about "hunny I parked the parked the car one" the rather unfortunate garage pic with the 360...

 

How about a little "rule of thumb" here. If a video or article is from 1976 you can safely assume you will be reposting if you create a new thread.

 

the car in the movie was a renault 5 gt turbo 2
it s a rallye car whit a central turbo engine

 

the car in the movie was a renault 5 gt turbo 2

the car in the movie was a renault 5 gt turbo 2
it s a rallye car with a central 4 cylindre turbo engine 2000 cc

 

Those were not around in 1976. Rumours were it was an Alpine Renault 110, seemingly also not true then.

 

Jesus, not only do we have a repost but apparently nobody can take the time to actually READ the previous threads.

It's a MB 6.9SEL..
