The car is something like a citreon or ranaul and the soundtrack is from a Ferrari the director speeded the film up to match the engine speed, that is the theory behind the filming of this classic footage

Supposedly a Mercedes, but with a Ferrari soundtrack dubbed over.

Certainly not the car it sounds like!

Supposedly a Dino I think but as has been said before it was allegedly rather doctored and probably more like a Citroen DS to provide a more stable platform for the camera

I speeded up an early video of Challenger 2 at work and convinced people it could do 70mph over rough ground
Sounded like a 6000 rpm car and looked quick
You could only speed up the playback rate by 1.5 times or it looked a bit like those old B&W films
