Here’s a video from our friends at GT Channel on a lap with world famous Tommi Makinen around the infamous Nurburgring in the 2011 STi.

This has been around the net for some time now but I figured that this will be some good o’l content for many of you that don’t look around at blogs much. A slightly modified (with larger turbo, tires, and roll cage for safety) set a new record in the new 2011 STi Sedan that is getting a lot of buzz around town.

Probably one of the most anticipated STi’s to come out in some time now, the Sedan is going back to what a lot of Subaru enthusiasts love, the sedan look. It’s amazing to watch the video to see how the world famous rally Driver, Tommi Mäkinen is able to go through all the corners with ease. I’m sure it’s not his first time around that famous Nürburgring Nordschleife course. It clocked an amazing 7 minute Lap Time. Yes, that’s 7 minutes (Shy of 8 minutes) but if you’ve ever seen the course, you’ll see why but this time trumps many “super cars” out there which to us says a lot about the new 2011 Subaru STi Sedan.
