There have been numerous Nurburgring lap videos recently, with the likes of Honda claiming
the FWD record
in the Giulia Quadrifoglio
, Lamborghini's Huracan Performante getting under
the seven-minute mark
and NIO setting a staggering (and silent) lap with
the EP9
Up until now it seemed mainly just the European manufacturers making a fuss of the battle for Nurburgring supremacy, but now Chevrolet has had a go in the Camaro ZL1 1LE. And what a go! Driven by Bill Wise, Camaro's ride and handling engineer, he said, "The harder you push the Camaro ZL1 1LE, the more it rewards you on the track." And that is very clear, with an incredible 7:16.04 lap.
According to the press statement, the 1LE had its suspension adjusted for optimal track performance and was running on the production Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tyres. The 1LE is now the fastest Camaro to have ever been around the Nurburgring, beating the standard 10-speed automatic ZL1's time by 13.56 seconds.
