Video of a Z racing through the streets of Budapest?

ARFCOM · 08-04-2010, 01:55 PM

I seem to recall from several years ago a video of someone racing a Nissan Z car through the streets of Budapest. It was duplicating a famous film that someone had made back in the late 60's or early 70's of doing the same thing. I even want to say it was Nissan who paid to have the film made.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or am I just getting old and my memory is failing me?

If someone replies with what you're looking for, it could mean both, hence the "Or" being irrelevant :-)

The Run. I have the DVD. It was a remake of the classic to mark the intro of the 350z

Seen it a million times since a got the DVD. Great vid

Nice post, John. I had 2 of those dvd's and gave one away. The video is always fun to watch.

Man doesn't that exhaust sound give you chills!!
Makes me want to run out and crack mine up and just sit in it.

Nissan sent me the RUN DVD when I bought the 350Z back in 2003. It's a great video promoting the Z.

Thanks for finding it!

I was off on what city it was in, but at least I wasn't imagining the whole thing. lol

I wonder if there's a High Def. version of it on YouTube?

Looks dangerous. Especially in that car. I would feel a lot better if it was done with a 370

Sounds like the DVD is imitating the famous chase scene from Bullitt (1968), in which Steve McQueen used a dark "Highland Green" 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 CID Fastback to chase a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum through the streets of San Francisco - cool!

That 350 looks absolutely futuristic in 1945 Prague!
