The new 2010 Porsche 997 GT3 RS was tested last week using Nordschleife time-attacks and it clocked in at 7min33sec per lap, seven seconds faster than the GT3. A Porsche test driver who remains unnamed donned a stopwatch, a crash hat, an RS, and a lot of guts, and went into light traffic.

Data from earlier laps indicate that the theoretical ‘best lap’ is 7m30s. It can still be recalled that the Nissan GT-R recorded a laptime of 7m27.56s. More impressive lap records were performed by the Gumpert Apollo (7m11.57s) and Radical SR8LM (6m48s), which was reported just two months ago. Photo gallery and video after the jump!
