"On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. 

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit." 

The legend continues.  But it's not true.  The car was a Mercedes and Lelouch himself was driving.
