6/10
Clever plot, but missing on action

Warning: Spoilers
Since this seems to be the first comment for "Carnapping", I have allowed to mark it with a "spoiler" warning despite of the age of the movie.

The first and most remarkable content of this movie is the motorcade of classic vehicles. Apart from the CW311, a prototyped based on a Mercedes chassis which evolved to the Isdera Imperator, there are also the "Polaroid"-Porsche Turbo Targa 911 by bb, a Monteverdi...a feast for the eyes of every auto enthusiast.

The story itself is said to be based on a true story: after the designer of a vehicle (the CW 311) was being defrauded by the client for which he had built this car, he seeks revenge in becoming a car thief himself. (The original story is a bit different and is taking the actual events in advance, but at least the name of the defrauder is the same...) From this moment on, the revenge becomes not only satisfaction, but also a game, culminating in the GTA of 60 (!) Porsche from a Parisian dealer.

Unfortunately, neither of the ingredients of this movie are enough to carry it over the whole distance, it's a bit lengthy. Nonetheless, it's fun to watch (and to compare with "Gone in 60 Seconds"...).
