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 gear head, this video will stir the soul. There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!!!

I am a BIG Ferrari fan so to me that is one of the BEST commercials ever. You think it sounds good on your computer you should hear it on the surround sound in my living room!

Prickles the hair on my neck when the sound overpowers the microphone/speakers...It's kind of been a secret dream of mine to drive one of those cars one day before I die. Or at least something similar.

It is even better in person, especially when that sound is connected to your right foot. Driving those cars is a very different experience. They are designed to be race cars first and street cars second which is 180 degrees from the rest of the automotive world.
