What kind of car is that in the OP? Great up and down shifting if it's manual!

Edit found it: Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 And 3-speed auto? What's up with all the shifting then?

Read the wikipedia link in the first post

Short answer: Although nobody but him really knows for sure, most likely the film was driven in the 450SEL, but then the audio was dubbed over with engine sounds from his Ferrari 275GTB, which has 5 gears.

I believe wstar has found the vault video that made need for speed what it is today!

that was a demo video of some dude in paris who envisioned this video game system that ppl could play for hours on end just ripping up the streets of your favorite city.

nobodies seen this video since the late 70's, it went missing as well as the demo driver himself...rumor is he was kept in a secret underground facility and forced to engineer more cool games for private companies...

come to think of it I am pretty sure I drove that course on rally racer

Clearly, you've never been to Atlanta.

Pretty cool I'm impressed. I just wonder how that boat could perform all those tight high speed turns.
