    Dayum! Great to see that Alfetta there at the first.
    There was a similar video a few years back, a guy driving a GT (a 456?) through the streets of Paris at dawn at speeds up to 140 or so. Awesome.
    Fearless (not fearless enuf to try that)

    How do they get those giant Titanium balls into that tiny driver compartment?

    Although, not a 456, not even a Ferrari. It was a 6.9 Mercedes with the sound dubbed in later. And somebody actually mapped the route to the film and figured that the guy never got much above 70.

    But it's still really cool!

    There is nothing like pre-wing Grand Prix on treaded bias-ply.
