Can you just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off this commercial? Not to mention the problems of clearing all of those streets and roads!
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!!!
Ferrari Shell Commercial High Quality

Out of the display case and given a long overdue Italian Tuneup. :D

Nice! Looks like most of the scenes happen early morning in a summer day. Neighbors must have been delighted!

What a delight to hear them roar! Awesome.

That was great!
If you enjoy wild street driving, you may enjoy Ken Block's antics.
This one he's driving his 600HP Ford Focus through San Francisco
