Shell gasoline and Ferrari

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 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, and Monaco . No computer graphics---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.
Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.
There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM !!!

Ferraris running on Shell gasoline
 
yeh , they showed it a year or so on tv .
The ferrari , the pilot who wears a black helmet , is a V12 engine, i believe.
Jacky Ickx drove such a thing in the early 70's .
Ickx is a former Belgian F1 pilot. He did some great things in those V12 ferrari's.
