I just came across this video and thought it might be interesting for some of you.

In principle I think it is quite ridiculous to take the Gladiator on the Nordschleife but maybe they just wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of their suspension.

Looks like it handles the track really well. That Hellcat powerplant really kept it moving

Reminds me of Sabine Schmitz running a van on the 'Ring on TopGear
She knew the "Ring" like the back of her hand. Watched a lot of her video's. She past away the few years ago. :(

Why not? Obviously, they’re not serious about racing it on pavement - or else it’d have completely different suspension, lowered a tremendous amount, and have smaller tires. Gladdy’s are at home racing in the dirt - lots of videos of desert races with HUGE horsepower.

You can get a 1000 horsepower Hellephant engine put in a Gladdy’. It’ll cost ya big bucks!! If you haven’t already seen it, you gotta watch this. It’s impressive!

We have a Tuscadero colored JLU Willys Sport here in Belgium (and impatiently waiting to buy our new Tuscadero JT Willys next week) … I’ve been tempted to try and go to the Ring for one lap just to be completely ridiculous lmfao

It looked pretty planted going through Karusell, I have to say!

She was the best. I'd have done anything to get a shotgun seat with her driving the e39 M5 Ring Taxi back in the day.

I don't sprachen zee Deutsch but my guess is they used a pre-2024 JTR. After the Hellcat was swapped they opted for the 2024 grille for better airflow.
