The Porsche 918 Spyder deserves the credit for forging the hybrid supercar territory trodden by the likes of Ferrari and McLaren, even if the car's venture to market has been a long one. But that lag time between concept and production has allowed Porsche to attain some pretty spectacular achievements, one of which is the production car lap record for the Nürburgring.
During final testing for the 918 Spyder, which made its public debut this week at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche factory racing driver Marc Lieb managed to set a blistering 6:57 lap time for the full Nürburgring- Nordschleife, smashing the old record of 7:11.57 set by another German supercar, the Gumpert Apollo Sport, back in 2009.
In case you doubt Porsche’s claims, the company had Sport Auto present to serve as an objective observer and also produced this thrilling video. It shows Lieb’s record-breaking run from the cockpit and demonstrates just how dramatic it is running the ‘Ring in under seven minutes. Be sure to watch it in full screen mode and with the volume turned up!
It should be noted that the 918 Spyder was fitted with the car’s available ‘Weissach’ package. This includes weight-saving features and some aerodynamic aids. In total it helps shed around 100 pounds from the standard car’s 3,715-pound curb weight. Peak output, however, remains fixed at 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque.
Wolfgang Hatz, Porsche’s head of R&D said after the feat, "We promised a great deal with the 918 Spyder, namely to redefine driving pleasure, efficiency and performance. We have kept our word."
This is an impressive time for a road legal car. To put it into perspective, the Zonda R did 6:47 with slick tires and it has gigantic spoilers & splitters. The 918 is only 10 seconds away from basically a race car.
Wow so I've seen alot of these nurburgring speed runs, and that is by far the smoothest, most relaxed run I've ever seen. Over the bumps it stays very stable, vibrations in the interior don't even show up on the camera. You don't even get crazy driveline whine or ridiculous exhaust noises.
I had some girl come into the busser station the other day trying to make out with every staff member and then pull down her pants and asked for someone to stick a dick in her (at least she shaved).

Shit, GT-R can't even beat crappy American cars like the Z06, ZR-1 or Viper at the Nurburgring. Stupid, lousy, 2-valve per cylinder pushrod engined RWD only cars with minimal electronics. And they kick the GT-R's ass all day long.
I'm pretty sure dangonay was being somewhat facetious.

@ 3:10, I like the button that pushes power to the front wheels to get out spin-out situations. When I played with my die-cast cars, that's how I imagined them to drive. LOL

That doesn't apply to the new C7, which is truly a world class all around sports car.
