Shell Oil Commercial - Great!
Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video steal the show. Ferrari pulled several of their race cars of various ages out of museums and storage, flew them to locations around the world, and filmed them running through the streets of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu and Monaco. No computer graphics were used; these are the original cars in actual locations.
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. Even if you're not a gear head, this video will stir the soul.
There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!
