As mentioned somewhere in Luca's thread, the mythos behind the film is actually quite inaccurate...except for the unwitting extras/bystanders.
The car being driven was actually a 1970s era Mercedes S-Class (

It most likely never exceeded 100 MPH, and the entire course was predetermined. A Ferrari did contribute the nicely dubbed audio track though.
Magnificent car BTW, my family had a 300SD built on the same frame and it is still 100% functional to date with no extra care taken. Finding diesel in California is a bitch though!
