ReRendevouz: Ford Mustang recreates ‘C’etait un Rendez-vous’
Forty years ago, a nine-minute film captured the imagination of both car enthusiasts and romantics. C'était un Rendez-vous featured an unseen car (said by some to be a Ferrari 275GTB) racing through the streets of Paris, the protagonist speeding to an amorous meeting above the city skyline.
Now Ford has reimagined the journey, introducing 360-degree virtual reality - and a Ford Mustang V8 Fastback Coupe.
“I had goose bumps watching ‘C’etait un Rendez-vous’ 40 years later in virtual reality,” said Claude Lelouch, the original filmmaker. “At the time, my movie was about the feeling of freedom and the pleasure driving generates. I knew that Ford would do more than just a tribute to the original in this new version.”
Sadly, perfectly recreating the main aspects of the route was a challenge as some roads have since disappeared. However, for what remains, viewers can control camera angles and the virtual environment as the Mustang powers through Paris.
“Mustang is a symbol of the freedom and thrill of driving. Recreating Lelouch’s cult short film ‘C’etait un Rendez-vous’ was the perfect way to capture this spirit for a new audience,” said Anthony Ireson, Ford’s European marketing communications director.

The new Citroen C3 comes with a dashcam built in, and it's actually pretty good. At the launch of the new Citroen C3, we thought we'd take in the Shelsley Walsh hill climb, and record the run on the Citroen C3's camera. Given it wasn't a race day, we had to keep our speed very conservative (it's a two-way private road under normal circumstances) but we've taken a couple of liberties with the fo...
