Trading Places: Toyota and Aston Chief Swap Rides at the ‘Ring

By - October 24, 2011

Wow, it must be cool to be the boss. Toyota President Akio Toyoda and Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez recently swapped rides while racing at the ‘Ring, and this killer video contains the scoop on everything that went down. The Aston Martin V12 Zagato actually got into some on-track trouble, but the LFA came through unscathed.


It’s cool to see that even in the hyper-competitive world of racing, friends can still get the chance to share their rides. These guys epitomize the idea of the gentleman racer.
