Porsche let Mercedes hold a Nordschleife lap record for a few months

6/30/20211:11 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Bradley Brownell

Porsche has been playing games with other manufacturers at the Nurburgring for years, continually upping the ante within months of competitors "beating" them. It all started back in November of 2017 when Porsche set a scarcely believable time of 6:47.30 in a then-new 991 GT2 RS. That next summer Lamborghini took to the 'Ring with its incredibly …

2021 Panamera Laps Nordschleife in 7:29.89, Sets “Executive” Record!

8/24/202012:23 estFiled to: Porsche PanameraBy: Tommy Parry

A little over ten years ago, Marc Basseng took the Carrera GT around the Nurburgring. A man with victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona, Bathurst 12 Hour, and the 24 Hours Nürburgring took Porsche's then-flagship around the 'Ring in 7:28.71, and now a four-door sedan is within spitting distance of that time. We've been awaiting a truly fast …

3/30/20199:00 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry

In what might be Chris Harris' best video yet, he guides us through one of the most incredible road cars ever—one which just beat the Holy Trinity of Hypercars by 2 seconds around one of the world's most picturesque, most challenging racetracks: Portimao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WZ-eZZXi-g The Manthey GT2 RS MR—a name which doesn't …

Lars Kern Terrifies Foul-Mouthed Passenger on Nerve-wracking Nurburgring Blitz

9/30/201812:30 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy Parry

Warning: Lots of inappropriate profanity in the footage above. For Lars Kern, the man who set the 991 GT2 RS' record lap at the Nurburgring, this might've seemed like a casual jaunt through the forest. Braking early, giving the slower cars a wide berth, and avoiding much curb hopping, he strings together a respectable lap that wouldn't come …

Ride Onboard the GT3 RS That Just Set a Lap Record at the Nürburgring

4/20/20185:24 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Chris Cushing

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 …

Top 5 Most Thrilling Attributes of the 991.2 GT2 RS

3/14/201812:27 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Chris Cushing

Narrowing down the most thrilling attributes of the GT2 RS is a challenge. The whole car is made of compressed and distilled superlatives. This 700 horsepower monster holds the top Nurburgring lap record, and exhales with such ferocity that Porsche test driver Lars Kern promises the titanium exhaust will be glowing after a hardcore track session. …

Watch the new Porsche GT2 RS Lap the Nurburgring Faster Than Any Production Car Before It.

9/28/201711:06 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Chris Cushing

Six minutes and forty seven point three seconds (6:47.3). That's the record crushing time Porsche's new GT2 RS recorded as it lapped the Nurburing Nordschleife. For those counting, that's nearly five (5) full seconds faster than the previous record held by Lamborghini's Huracán Performante (not to mention more than 5-seconds faster than the 918). …
