Must have drank much fuel, engine that size, that inefficient. Sounds good though, but not as good as today's AMGs IMO.

Different times

Great classic clip.

Three speed auto, of course, which gives away the dubbed soundtrack from a Ferrari - watch out for those changes into 5th.

A fantastic single take film.

The engine sound is from a Ferrari, badly dubbed over the film.

I thought it sounded a bit odd. I just assumed that's how they sounded back then. I wasn't born for another 12 years.

I watched it without scrolling down so I was unaware of how the film was made, but as soon as it started I wondered why a SEL 6.9 had a flat plane engine with a manual transmission.
