2nd gen GS on Germany's Nuburgring: video inside
 
Here is recent video of a 2nd gen GS (AristoV300) on the Nurburgring in Germany.. Only one that I've ever seen online.. Enjoy:) P.S. Tell the driver to put the pedal to the metal please!!

To give you a sense of how crazy fast folks drive on this track, Here is an M5 ring taxi with 5 passengers on board flying on the ring.

that V300 handled decently and stayed pretty flat around the corners at those speeds, must have had some suspension mods done to it

if it was me, i would be too afraid to run a stock GS on nurburgring nordschliefe

btw, i love seeing Sabine flying on the ring

Maybe he wasn't confident driving the car around the track at high speed. If it's stock, then I can definitely see why. The rear end is just too damn wobbly!

As for the GS, 140mph is nice.

As for the M5, wow! Granted we don't know how the other cars in is video wre being driven, but it passed some big names...911, 911 Turbo, M3 and two motorcycles. It was cool to see it take both banked turns. Long live the M5.

When it first loaded and I saw the time of the vid I was :eek2: ;)

Good find:thumbup:

yeah stock GS suspension is scary, especially the rear. I have coilovers on now but still feel like I could use more tweaking...

good find :D

DASHOCKER 10-17-07 06:10 PM

I wonder if that GS belongs to a member here. Perhas we can get some feedback as far as what mods (if any) was done to the car.

Thats Dave's Aristo V300 from the Uk who owns Prolex-uk a very nice example and very quick one its got quite a few mods on the car and a member of the lexusownersclub.co.uk if you would like to find out a bit more? Were all going back to the Nurburgring next March to have another run :-)

prolex-uk 11-14-07 08:46 AM

Thats my car indeed...not a good lap:sad: track was wet then dry then wet so was scared more than normal !! On the ruing you have to watch out for motorbikes and other cars as well as tourist buses !!

VipDout 11-14-07 12:09 PM

beautiful track ... the gs was smooth as ever , Not fast but there was reasons why

blacksc400 11-14-07 12:42 PM

Yep, stock GS suspension is very scary.
I feel that My stock SC handles better than my GS with coilover and rmm STB!
