This is for the whole circuit, gp loop included. Not Bridge to Gantry that many base their times on. There are different lap distances, but generally only 2 recognised ones.

Amazing as this is, it's a further modified prototype-class full on race car, it lapped some circuits faster than F1 cars. The Nurburgring car was further modified and a one off and outside of any completion cars specs.

It's a great example of what you can do with a huge heap of cash and no rule book and how far hybrid vehicles have come.

Still bloody amazing, just not really comparable with anything you can buy or race.



I was more impressed that they also took another record with their GT2-RS.

6:47 in a production based car....

I know VW had had some drama's recently and folk commented that Porsche don't have class and attract poor taste customers, but they really do build something special.

Amazing performance, hybrid is incredible.

Audi have done the same at Pikes Peak, set out to break the hybrid record, shattered it AND the actual total record as well.

Amazing, looking like he could have done with another gear on the straight.

[grog]

Agree Dusty, another gear. love that clip.

[Kiwifruit]

Great clip alright.......
I know Porsche were working with Harley Davidson on some of their projects.
Harley Davidsons input into the Porsche project is not immediately evident....... maybe it has a chromed tailpipe ??
