The reel starts in the next lane over. A white car pulls alongside on the Golden Gate Bridge, one passenger standing up through the roof with a phone, another leaning out of the window grinning, and the words on screen ask the question for them: “What are they filming?!”

The answer comes three seconds later. The 11 second video was posted on September 14, 2026, by @anandclemens, Anand Clemens, whose Instagram profile describes him as a digital creator and cofounder of The Exotics Network. His caption is a single line: “Can’t believe we took over the Golden Gate Bridge.”

After the passing car, the camera turns to the roadway under the bridge’s red towers. Three crew members in black hoodies sit on the back of a vehicle in red safety harnesses, cameras raised, one holding a camera out on a long pole. Beyond them, spread across the lanes, is what they are pointing at: a convoy of exotic cars rolling toward the lens.

Leading the pack is a white and carbon black hypercar with four round headlamps set in pods and a large X decal across its nose. Next to and behind it are a pale blue car, a bright green one and at least two yellow ones, with a long line of other cars stretching back toward the far tower. The last frames hold on that formation, the lead car in the center lane and the bridge cables framing the shot on both sides, until the clip ends.

The reel does not name the cars, the event or the route, and it does not show the convoy leaving the bridge. One commenter identified the cars as Paganis; the video and caption do not confirm the make. The “we” in the caption is the only hint that Clemens was part of the group rather than a bystander.

The Bridge Under the Convoy

The roadway in the clip is a busy one. According to the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, which runs the bridge, vehicle traffic began on May 28, 1937, the main span is 4,200 feet, and it was the longest suspension span in the world until 1964. The bridge carries six lanes, with a moveable median barrier used to change how many run in each direction, and the District counted more than 2.24 billion vehicle crossings from opening day through February 28, 2019.

Anyone planning to film on the bridge should know its rules. The District’s filming and photography permit page says a permit is required for commercial filming and photography on District property, asks for at least 30 days’ notice and an insurance certificate, and lists a fee of $10,000 a day for commercial filming. It also states that if a permit is granted, all cameras must be concealed in the vehicle footprint. The reel does not say what kind of shoot this was.

If You Drive Your Own Car Across the Golden Gate

Whether you are in a hypercar convoy or a rental, the bridge works the same way for every driver, and the District’s own pages spell out the details:

• Know which way you pay. The District says tolls are charged only on southbound trips into San Francisco, and all of them are collected electronically, so there is no booth to stop at.
• Set up payment before you cross if you can. Without a FasTrak tag, the District lists a License Plate Account, a One Time Payment or Short Term License Plate Account, or paying a mailed Toll Invoice.
• Watch for the invoice if you do nothing. For California plates, the District says an invoice is generally mailed about a week after the crossing, and an unpaid invoice becomes a violation with a $25 penalty per toll.
• If you want to film your car on the bridge for anything commercial, start with the District’s permit page at least 30 days ahead, and plan for its insurance and camera rules rather than improvising from a moving vehicle.
• If a convoy like this one rolls up beside you, leave the filming to passengers, as the people in the white car do in the opening seconds, and keep the driver’s eyes on the lane.
