S2000 Prototype in Nurburgring

[@tass1285]

Gan san legend, its like a test drive for him, just playing around.

[@yukolos]

He's driving this thing to the limit without a sweat!

[@uazhar2013]

heres an update after driving it for almost 5K miles: this car is absolutely phenomenal..its scary how precise and accurate it is in terms of handling, acceleration and the overall experience. I cant begin to fathom what these are like modified with the right parts seeing how perfect they are in their stock forms.

[@ayowser01]

Turkee Sonvich I kept my car stock for the first 7 years of ownership. I used to wonder the same thing; now I no longer have to. It gets better when modified [correctly] ☺

[@uazhar2013]

I've modified mine... getting heavy slowly

[@TheMau5meister]

He drove more respectful than most of the tourists you run into at the ring...

[@TwpsynMawr]

Because he is Japanese.. 🤙

[@JoeBlo2]

From the leather jacket, to the sunglasses, to the white socks and loafers... it's like Senna in the NSX-R.

[@mhh3]

+JoeBlo2 That's how you drive Hondas

[@nikolabegonja5490]

No, this is Motoharu Kurosawa otherwise known as Gan-san

[@enay333]

+Nikola Begonja are you stupid? we know that

[@JoeBlo2]

Nikola Begonja "like Senna"

[@nikolabegonja5490]

NSX-R sorry, misunderstood that part

[@fuchsiasteve1]

The best video ever of an S2000 round the RIng. An iconic clip!

[@nobinobiii]

gan-san was 58 yrs o Lol.

[@yeehaa1342]

Gan San is a LEGEND! You could not get that car around there faster if you tried! Bouncing off curbs at 125mph with the hood down, not dropping below 8,000 the whole way -he really tore it a new one!

[@sgtjohn4321]

It’s kph not mph

[@kwikKat]

the Gan San was living in 8k RPM

[@willywonka4340]

kwikKat more like 9k RPMs lol... it's an AP1

[@chasefrancois1969]

Mickaël Jackson's heal n toe

[@gatoradeee]

Michaeruu Jack-san

[@constipatedparker5879]

Michael Jackson's hee hee(l) and toe I know, I'm 3 years late

[@uazhar2013]

stock exhaust sounds so clean, kind of like a trumpet or another type of musical horn instrument.

[@s2kkev292]

Turkee Sonvich That’s the engine you are hearing

[@michaelbarrett8894]

nice driving skills.

[@stinger71]

Motoharu "Gan San" Kurosawa

[@drcheese42]

Strange that it has a UK registration yet it is a Japanese LHD prototype. Looking at the DVLA it was first registered on the 5th of august 1998 and has been untaxed since 1st september '99.

[@Gabrielealia]

no helmet, no gloves, white socks and mocassins: that's the old school drivers :)

[@fairygodbrother]

no helmet, no seatbelt and just a pair of shades. no fucks given.

[@MrSnowmobilefreak]

I literally crashed my s2000 2 days ago, saddest thing ever. Cried in the ambulance

[@undercoverlord]

Got a new one yet?

[@MrSnowmobilefreak]

@@undercoverlord your timing is pretty impressive. I've actually been planning a new build and have been looking for s2k's

[@trident4555]

Dem, comment was 7 years ago, still replied, hows that s2k plan?

[@raidacaipo]

Its fucken awesome to watch a skilled professional driver like Gan San driving the Nurburgring so effortlessly compared to the other amateurs lol

[@Sonic_1000]

5 FR-S owners disliked this.

[@raidacaipo]

+Sonic_1000 God I hate FRS drivers....

[@2damaxmr2]

+Sonic_1000 I could not find a mint S2000 so i settled with the FRS. Don't be hatin.

[@t1mech1ldtc60]

same ... and I slapped on intial d paint job. NSX is the way to go ... Senna's play toy

[@davidKim50]

Awesome!

[@yeehaa1342]

Only when changing down or when he's about to start braking. Gan San is King!

[@khonmaru2455]

1:33 Double clutch

[@tealruby1]

Wow, I've never seen a double clutch that fast. Why did he double clutch a downshift?

[@pranavps851]

That was quick

[@fhowland]

Owning an S2000, this video is insane, the level this man is at.

[@MrTheLemonn]

In alot of cases, if you downshift to quickly without matching the rpm that the car was at when you pushed the clutch in, the rear end will chatter the tires because the engine is trying to catch up with the higher gear ratio.

[@panzerfaust5320]

i believe hes revmatching the gearbox with the engine so the downshift dont slow the car something like the heel toe technic except he dont need to break at that points

[@htvlogs80]

Goat 🐐

[@ottoSupra93]

VERY great pilot !!!

[@valt888]

this nigga ain't flying

[@TwpsynMawr]

@@valt888 pretty sure he was on that lap. Gansan don't fuck about

[@blakes2k]

I hope you enjoy it. I got mine almost a year ago.

[@bullracing1]

Badass Old Gan-San :o

[@willyschanke399]

THIS is what the BRZ / GT-86 should sound like :D

[@kevbecks]

this is really cool..keiichi and the s2000

[@marloon88]

That's amazing! This car has so much potential! Damn!

[@BuddingBassist93]

being tested on the old coursheeee

[@RelentlessRevolver7]

GETTING MY AP1 IN FEBRUARY CANT WAITTTTTTTT

[@valt888]

This guy got some serious skills!

[@dividad1]

I mean, its still a great car. And they did make a hard top they're just incredibly rare

[@HannibalACP82]

Channeling his Senna from the NSX Suzuka run I see. Sunglasses and white socks with loafers...str8 boss.

[@OZH204]

Great video

[@addz91]

Excellent driving

[@MBUER]

I love this meter.

[@waynwastaken]

no one is gonna mention the fact they made this in japan, and tested it in germany but its left hand drive?

[@elecoantena]

~8:15 BTG

[@DK101GT]

Thats pure class... I mean the White tennis socks in Black leather shoes... hehe

[@woody231979]

He hit's the rev limiter quite a bit. lol

[@Krazy_Shorts]

Fuckin A, this guy DOMINATES!

[@samy94628]

[@marcosp8087]

Fuckin crazy japan on the steering wheel, it's a genious!

[@Nomuken180sx]

YYYeessss. TRD and Mugen shouldve made an I4 motor. toyotas VVTI mixed with Hondas V-TEC systems..would be sick

[@VLAHONDA]

Like a Boss...

[@MKAERO89]

and of course, the top down

[@cordogg1]

And he's doing this with dress pants and dress shoes.

[@Roxak]

well this must have been somewhen in 1998 or 1999 so it apparently hasnt affected anything...

[@XR4turbo]

No helmet, like a boss.

[@richiesworld1]

Get mine this weeeeeeek!!!!

[@PHoSawyer]

great vid, great driver.....whats the score with those shoes tho! haha!

[@sharmilanraj]

[@thestig818]

Fell sorry for you :(

[@federicom.756]

Looks like takeshi kitano is driving around the Nordschleife.

[@RelentlessRevolver7]

i miss senna.......:(

[@dusant636]

nice

[@Ragi91]

Isn't it Keiichi Tsuchiya?

[@ArthurSperotto]

+Ragi91 Gan San.

[@007ggman]

Hilarious voice over

[@RYves-dd4ky]

Lap time?

[@andreaslieblang2107]

sehr geil, mit weißen Socken und den Slippern....

[@djeizzzz]

poor gear box, but pretty nice control !

[@sidogr9854]

soo fucking smoooth

[@1nvd]

Gan San!!!

[@NeonAstralOfficial]

Lol he is not wearing seatbelt?

[@VirusQ87]

wow

[@johonx]

07:10 la famosa curva donde todos los weones chocan XD.

[@takeiteg]

@majch thats how a honda is suppose to be driven.

[@pranavps851]

Reminds me of Senna

[@bazziouk]

stelvio is pants, too tight, full of people on push bikes and falling rocks, i wont be going back!

[@bergi85]

But the voice over said 125mph. We all know that the speedo is in kph, S2000's can't go 220mph.

[@brhc]

some great heel toe

[@RK1FX]

guys this was in 1999 or 98 LOL O_O

[@_AbUser]

Heh.. Gan San has a little different driving techincue. This is Keichi Tsuchiya

[@testacorsa150]

what? no it is gan san.

[@khairulamilin3472]

why he 'over rev' instead of perfect shift?

[@alexg4051]

He didn't over-rev once. He red-lined it a bit but these cars were made to be driven like that. They make power all the way to red-line and have a mechanical fuel cut-off so the only way one would over-rev would be a down-shift that was supposed to be an up-shift.

[@khairulamilin3472]

But still, the best torque is at 7-8k. Mine is k20a. I shift at 7.5

[@alexg4051]

If he shifts too early then he won't be within the rpm range for vtec for the next gear. I'm not sure what the earliest you can shift to stay in the range is on an AP1, but I know most people with AP1s love to go all the way to 9k. I go all the way to 8k in my AP2 and it is wonderful. Plus the lap wasn't timed so maybe he was just having some fun :)

[@ordnas1234]

khairul amilin Than you are doing it wrong. You don't shift at peak torque unless you are driving a diesel even more in a NA high rpm car because what makes you faster is the average power you make in the rpm range you are using. That's what you should aim to: highest power average rpm range.

[@Jempxd1LoL]

You shouldn't question this guy at all hehe, especially if you don't even know anything about vtech at all :)

[@dirtbikemike69]

Like a bawwwwsss!

[@bignitro50]

to bad I'm to tall for one of these :( my accord will do for now I guess.

[@danielevignati4339]

Questo significa guidare!!!

[@GHOSTmotorsport]

why does he tap his acceleratiuon pedal when he down shifts ive seen many drivers do this but ive never known the reason. my thought on it is that its because opening the throttle a little bit allows you to achieve a stronger braking power, but not too sure.

[@hahahahaa945]

They are rev matching. But I'm thinking 6 years later you already knew that :d

[@trevornance3772]

Anyone here from that one Tik tok
