2010 Porsche GT3
The 2010 Porsche GT3, which the carmaker claims to be a fearsome track rival, is able to finish a lap at the Northern Loop of Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 40 seconds. This figure, which was obtained by top test driver Walter Rohrl during a recent open testing session, is still unofficial. The carmaker further claims that a couple of seconds more could still be dropped from the lap figure if their test driver was just intent on it.
It must be pointed out that there was a report of a fully sport-optioned 911 S ran the Northern Loop recently making it in 7 minutes and 56 seconds. Rohrl also managed to finish the lap under the same condition with a Ferrari 430 Scuderia in 7 minutes and 45 seconds. It was pointed out that the Nissan GT-R still can't better its lap figure last year of 7 minutes and 54 seconds.
But Nissan went back to Nurburgring just recently with a slightly updated 2010 GT-R and now claims it has done better than last year with its current lap time of 7 minutes and 27.56 seconds. Although it is noteworthy that the ZR1's 7 minutes and 26.4 seconds lap time was not mentioned in the interview, but praise was offered to the most current Corvette.
