Lap records at the Nürburgring Nordschleife are always only temporary and sometimes unclear. They come in many different categories depending on the type of car. The most popular category is of course that of the – normal – passenger cars. Although that concept is also quite elastic.
Mercedes AMG GT Black Series
Because you can get a Mercedes AMG GT Black Series describe it as such. Because with 730 hp (800 Nm), a sprint from 3.2 seconds to 100 km / h and a top speed of 325 km / h and a price tag of over 420,000 euros, you know that you have entered the hors category.
The most powerful Mercedes, with Maro Engel behind the wheel, has at least (for the time being) broken the lap record of the Nordschleife with a time of 6:43:16 hours. In doing so, he improves Marco Mapelli’s lap record with a 2018 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ LP770-4. A minimal difference, but faster. About 10 years ago Timo Kluck drove a Porsche 911 GT2 RS the same lap in 7:18 hours.
