New TAG Heuer ad pitches Steve McQueen against Lewis Hamilton

McQueen and Hamilton : two legends duel at Le Mans To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of its Monaco watch, TAG Heuer has gone down the fantasy road and imagined who would have won the race between Steve McQueen and Lewis Hamilton. They’ve used footage from McQueen’s Le Mans in which they’ve inserted Hamilton, a technique we remember getting great results in movies like Forrest Gump. It’s not as well done as the latter and the 3D cars could have used more... Read More

The Bullitt chase recreated

Motive mag is an automotive website with cool articles, fresh news and an excellent graphic design. Actually that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I went there. It’s a nice change compared to some of the most popular car websites… you know which ones I’m talking about. One of their guys, Jay Lamm, went up to San Francisco with a 2008 Bullitt Mustang to recreate the chase, and tells you all about it, with maps, pictures and witty words. “In... Read More

As it says in the intro: “A nine-minute scene was all it took to establish the modern movie car chase”. If we don’t agree on everything about the new Bullitt Mustang, we couldn’t agree more on that. And we’ve put together a gallery for you to see... Read More

Will Smith hunting deers with his GT 500 in I am Legend

  We actually don’t know if those are actually deer, but it sure looks like fun and Will Smith doesn’t shoot any (for one moment we thought he was trying to run them over), so it’s safe to watch, even for animal lovers or PETA members. Way more exciting than driving for two hours in the woods in a beat up Bronco and wait for the prey to show up. You can see all this and hear the wonderful roar of the predator -a.k.a the Shelby Mustang GT 500- in the first... Read More

2008 Bullitt Mustang jumping in San Francisco

I Am Legend, Mustang GT500 window crash

The red Shelby Mustang GT 500 goes through a window, in the same way Charlton Heston went through one in the Omega Man (1971). Which is pretty normal since the two movies are based on the same book by Richard Matheson (published in 1954)… Video after the jump. Read More  Read More

Excerpts from the Ford press release found on  zercustoms.com: “There... Read More
