On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris early in the morning.

The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes;

The course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed – Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches..

The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested.

He never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground.

It is a classic. TURN UP YOUR SOUND…!!!!!
