Porsche still holds the outright fastest lap with the GT2 RS Manthey Racing edition, which set a …

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 …

Caught testing at the Nürburgring by our clever spy photographers, …
