Ferrari 275 GTB On Google Maps

image
In 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a 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. Now, in 2007, you can see the driver race through the streets of Paris and follow his moves on Google Maps at the same time. Go to the website, read ‘how this works’ and let the fun begin.

Bonus video: The clip that was used for the video/Google Maps combination

Thanks to Henk Jan for the tip!

@Henkjan: Yes, the clip is also available on YouTube. But the post is not really about the clip. It's about the combination of video and Google Maps. I'll add the video as a bonus.

Actually it was not his ferrari. it was his Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 with the ferrari audio dubbed over. Read the wiki page to learn the cool story behind the awesome video.
