Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly, they're selling petrol, but the cars 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, Monaco and the NSW south coast. No CGI -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 motorhead, this video will stir the soul.
There's just something about 3 litres and 14,000 RPM !

Couldn't work out what the commercial was for until the end. Great add tho, and love the revs.
