Paris at 140 mph

From a Slate article about which stunts impress other stuntmen comes this bit of video from 1978:

A 1978 short film by New Wave director Claude Lelouch* may be the most thrilling single piece of driving ever filmed. The director, who had no permits to film or to stop traffic, hooked a camera to the front bumper of a Mercedes-Benz (in the only bit of film trickery, the sound of the motor was played by a five-speed Ferrari) and filmed the entire movie in a single cinema-verité take: He drove through the streets of Paris at five in the morning, through red lights, around the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs-Élysées, against one-way traffic, over sidewalks, at speeds up to 140 miles per hour.

You'll never guess which brother of mine I thought of while reading that description.

(And I think 140 mph is 7 terrameters but I could have that wrong.)
