Just yesterday we brought you spy shots from what appeared to be a hot-weather testing session, and which has the same setting as this official video released today of three Model S Alpha build cars testing on track. The track is partially banked, enabling easier high-speed testing, but also has traffic and road markings--with speeds laid out in metric--making us think Tesla has borrowed another automaker's testing grounds for the Alpha's shake-down. Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on in the video--except the increasingly less-eerie sound of electric cars whipping along at high...

Question: what does a 2013 Lexus GS look like attacking an autocross-style course in full camouflage? Answer: see below. Despite the rather weak music overlaid on the video, we do get to hear some sounds of mild tire scrub in the video below, though the engine/exhaust note is too muted to make it through. Judging by the body roll in the corners and the attitude of the car as it rounds to cones, the new GS isn't going to be a shocking re-imagination of what a performance/luxury sedan is meant to be. Instead, it looks a bit soft and biased toward understeer. We'll see the car sans the obscuring...
