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 a professional Formula 1 racer drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris, France. 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.
Over the years there has been much speculation as to his speed and even one rumor that it wasn't even a Ferrari, but regardless, this is one great video.
