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.
Course it was doing more than 200mph down here
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!
