Thought you might enjoy this 2 minute video

Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe.

Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the car used in the video
steal the show.

Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of
storage, flew them around the world and filmed them running through
the streets of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu, and Monaco...

No computer graphics these are the original cars on the original
streets.

The best part is the sound from the basso-profundo notes of the early,
front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with
the wail of a modern F1 car.

The sounds alone bring a tear to the eye.

Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.

There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!
