When a low-speed chase along the French Mediterranean ensues, Morier and his thugs (who display that overtly generic constipation face while driving) can barely keep up with a (checks notes) 1938 Bugatti Atlantic. Overdrive offers an excellent cast of cars, even if the filmmakers don’t fully understand them. The Atlantic models were developed from the Aérolithe prototype, also known as Coupé Special or Coupé Aero.

Morier agrees on the condition that the GTO be delivered within one week! They are caught and tortured but convince Morier to let them make amends by stealing a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO owned by merciless mogul and arch-rival to Morier, Max Klemp (Clemens Schick). ![]() After stealing a rare Bugatti, they discover it is owned by noted Marseille crime boss and exotic car collector Jacomo Morier (Simon Abkarian).
