I don't think it was edited ... only watched like the first 2 minutes, but ...
Here's the text that went with it:
Quote: 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. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.
Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

the Speed differential when passing cars is not right , and I always hear the same style of tire squeal. Plus, accelerating like that on damp cobblestone roads, must be the first quattro Ferrari.

AFAIK the video car was not a Ferrari but a Mercedes.
The Ferrari sounds were dubbed.
