“Getting Started” is a short video that includes the sights, but more importantly the sounds, of 33 amazing vehicles roaring to life! From the ’69 Jaguar E-Type’s quiet Inline-6 to the the rumble of the Aventador’s 6.5L V12 and the punch of the Saleen S7’s twin turbos, we don’t often have the pleasure of hearing these fire up. Spanning decades, cylinder numbers, and displacements – each engine’s voice is as individual and recognizable as its body style. Just one of these cars is enough to get any automotive enthusiast’s attention, but hearing all 33 unique cars one after another is like a symphony to any gearhead’s ears! Watch the video and then continue below for exclusive behind the scenes shots...

Behind the Scenes

Nitto Tire takes their tagline "Fueled by Enthusiasts" seriously and set out to create something that would help to ignite the passion of their followers even more. McCoy Film Production did a fantastic job turning Nitto's vision into reality through capturing the sights and sounds included within "Getting Started." Many thanks to the collectors who let us start their cars! In particular thanks to the Petersen Automotive Museum, The Breslow Collection, , Lamborghini Newport Beach, Vörsteiner and McLaren Newport Beach. If you're wondering who those lovely legs in the beginning sequence belong to, they're the beautiful Anamique. In some locations it was amazing how much of a crowd assembled to gather their own footage! When a car dealership has vehicles as special as the McLaren P1 there is no need for fancy gimmicks to get customers through the doors...salesmen need to simply start the engine. This happened to be the first time the P1 was shown publicly in Southern California, word spread, and many people from Cars & Coffee came over making it a proper event.
