RE: Porsche 911 GT2 RS: 6:47.3
Wednesday 27th September 2017
Wow. If you can watch the video of a GT2 RS lapping the Nurburgring Nordschleife 12 seconds faster than a 918 Spyder and not be totally staggered, then you might want to check for a pulse. This is a crazy lap, the speeds recorded absolutely barmy and the composure shown by both car driver truly extraordinary.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS: 6:47.3
The latest mega 911 heads to the Nurburgring, returns with a Huracan-humbling lap
Six minutes and 47 seconds means the GT2 is not only brisker than the hybrid hypercar, but also five seconds ahead of the Huracan Performante - the goalposts move again! It's difficult to put such a time in context, but consider this for a start: the RS has lapped the Nurburgring a minute - a minute! - faster than the Golf GTI Clubsport S, the fastest front-wheel drive car there and a vehicle that's already lapped quicker than a 997-era 911 3.6 GT3. Madness.
Driving duties for this record attempt were taken on by Lars Kern, although Nick Tandy was involved too; indeed both clocked up more than one lap below 6:50, with the record lap requiring an average speed of 184.11km/h. That's 114mph...
Anyway, enough waffling, here's the video. Your move Lamborghini!
