Lamborghini remakes C'était un Rendezvous to promote the new Super Trofeo Stradale

In 1978, Director Claude Lelouch produced a 10 minute short-film called C'était un Rendezvous ("It was a date") , showing a high speed drive through the streets of Paris.

The sequence was filmed by a camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9, then dubbed with the sound of Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB. The rest as they say is history.

33 years later, Lamborghini have used the theme of C'était un Rendezvous to promote their latest Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale.

Look, clearly Lamborghini had no intention to 'actually' remake C'etait un Rendezvous, but as I said in the intro, they've used the 'theme' of the film to promote the new Gallardo STS. There's a rule of thumb in car videos - the more awesome the brand, the more lame their ads. Ferrari, Lambo, Pagani are like this, whereas Kia, Hyundai and even VW produce significantly better ad/promo content.

Too dramatic... :s

This is terrible. Contrary to popular belief we can watch a scene for more than half a second without needing a cut.

Just remake the original and be done with it. Not all this ADD Teenager rubbish

Contrary to what I had heard this is no remake, I think they would have been better doing a remake.

What happened to the long takes we used to see in movies? (No one say Russian Ark) now everything is cut fast, shaky cam, cutaways & dramatic titles.

All Lambo lovers should feel abused. that sucks.

[greasemunky326]

this is NOT a remake of C'était un Rendezvous... AND you DONT show a sped up film of a fast car, SPECIALLY, to car lovers! didnt like it!

Wow, this is pretty embarrassing. For a company that makes such nice looking cars to produce some crap like this. It would have been less grating if you guys wouldn't have dared to compare this POS to Lelouch's original.

Shame on Lambo and whoever did this.
