Porsche’s GT2 RS takes Nurburgring record for production cars

Porsche just hit the world record books again after setting a blistering six minutes 47.3 seconds by Porsche test driver Lars Kern in its most hardcore 911 variant, the GT2 RS, almost a second faster than Radical’s SR8 LM which posted a time of 6:48.28, making it the fastest production car to run in the Nordschleife section of the famed Nurburgring.

The new car not only it did beat the previous generation GT2 RS by 17.7 seconds, but also beat its hybrid hypercar cousin, the 918 Spyder by 9 seconds, despite the huge power difference and the lack of hybrid technology that the 918 has. It also beat its main rival, the Lamborghini Huracan Performante, by 5 seconds, which, like the 911, is also a road car turned track car.
