It might seem like Nürburgring Nordschleife lap records get broken every few weeks these days, but Porsche and Manthey Racing conspired to take the street legal record back in 2018, and have held it ever since. Porsche's 991 GT2 RS MR managed a 6:40.33, which is faster than anything else with a license plate. The only cars to set a faster official …

Under the guidance of Jeffrey Cook, a talented student can threaten a hypercar's supremacy in a 991.2 GT3 RS. Once a driver is confident in the GT3 RS' swinging pendulum of a rear and the way it likes to rotate at higher speeds, they can lean on that odd weight distribution and exploit the rear-engine traction in a way that fires them out of faster …

Back in 2016 Dodge set the Viper ACR loose on tracks all across the country with the intent of setting track lap records.

Porsche is flat out obsessed with lap records lately. The company owns the outright record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, as well as the production car record (Technically Manthey Racing, but it's a Porsche), and has nabbed production car records with the GT2 RS at Laguna Seca and Willow Springs as well.

A record that has stood since 1983, when Stefan Bellof set a 6 minutes 11.13 second lap in the fire-breathing Porsche 956, has been absolutely demolished tonight. Porsche's team driver Timo Bernhard was at the wheel of the wild and crazy 919 Hybrid Evo early Friday morning to set an Earth-shattering 5 minutes 19.546 second lap of the track known as …

A few weeks ago, after Porsche set the new lap time record at Spa Francorchamps with the new no-holds-barred rule breaking 919 Hybrid Evo, we speculated that Porsche could be bringing that bonkers ludicrous-speed car to the Nordschleife in order to take down that decades old Bellof record. Not only that, but we extrapolated that Porsche could even …

As the 919 Hybrid Evo proved at Spa last month, an unrestricted closed cockpit car with fenders can be significantly faster than a Formula 1 car, even in qualifying trim.

The GT2 RS was the second Porsche road car to crack the 7 minute barrier at the Nordschleife. Lars Kern wrestled the 700 horsepower turbocharged monster around the track, besting Lamborghini's record by five seconds. With 180 fewer horsepower, you'd expect the GT3 RS to be slower. It is truly shocking how little separates the two cars over more …
