Claude Lelouch, 1976. Across Paris in a mb 450 sel 6.9, in 8 minutes 7 seconds.

The car was far too quiet so he badly dubbed a ferrari 275gtb along with comedy tyre squeals but it looks good.

Was it not a case of he wanted folk to believe he had done it in the Ferrari, but the Merc was a better camera platform? So he filmed from the Mercedes and them did the run in his Ferrari for the audio? 

Possibly an apocryphal tale. 

Regardless, its a great wee clip. Timeless.

This, the 6.9 was stable, but fast. He then repeated the run in the Fiat to get the sounds.
