The prototype seems to be exhibiting great handling - staying flat and showing little roll or slide through the turns. It's not easy to judge speed from a video, but it certainly seems to be carrying good speed through the turns.

We also get the best listen to the prototype at full throttle yet.

like you said it's hard to tell how fast the FR-S is going but it sure looks like it's handling the nurburgring really well. The exhaust note sounds really good and has some potential to sound really sick. Can't wait for the FR-S to be released, i wanna hear what it sounds like with a full exhaust system

i agree you cant tell how fast its going in the video but it does seem to be going quickly around the corners and the car does seem very well planted...

hmm if the production model will have suspension as stiff as that.. that would be

One thing for sure it can be too stiff or else a buyer looking for a fast car as is without doing any mod's won't be comfortable at all, BIG problem.

Maybe Toyota will throw in adjustable dampering on a possible sports package, since they are adding space to mount a roll cage i don't see why not.

ladies and gents keep in mind that they are just testing the vehicle and what you see in the video is 50/50 to make it to production. FR-S spring rates are also being tested.... all part of the fine tuning at the nurburgring.

so far so good though.
