Ferrari Films Short Movie "A Great Encounter" in Monaco

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Ferrari announced on the 26th that it filmed a short film titled 'The Great Encounter' in Monaco together with the famous French film director Claude Lelouch.

'The Great Encounter,' filmed in the early hours of the 23rd and 24th of this month, when the Monaco F1 Grand Prix was scheduled, was produced by director Claude Lelouch. It featured powerful driving scenes of Ferrari's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid model, the SF90 Stradale, released in June 2019, on the street circuit. Notably, Scuderia Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc, who is from Monaco, recorded intense driving scenes at speeds of 240 km/h on video.

The film also briefly featured Monaco's Sovereign Prince Albert II. Ferrari Chairman John Elkann, Monaco princes Andrea Casiraghi and Pierre Casiraghi, and his wife Beatrice Borromeo visited the filming site to encourage the crew. Residents and citizens living near the filming location showed great interest in the movie shoot, and thanks to the proactive COVID-19 response and gradual lifting of national lockdowns in France and Monaco, the filming was able to be observed under the careful supervision of local authorities.

To capture the SF90 Stradale's road driving scenes in Monaco, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, the roads were fully closed. The powerful exhaust sound of the SF90 Stradale satisfied Scuderia Ferrari fans' thirst for racing. Above all, the sound of the 1000-horsepower hybrid Ferrari's V8 engine served as a positive message signaling the first step toward overcoming the COVID-19 crisis through mutual responsible behavior, dedication, and unity, and toward the normalization of motorsports, cinema, and daily life.

The premiere of 'The Great Encounter' is scheduled for June 13.
