Crazy fast.....It's hard to figure the fastest laps at Nurburgring though. The internet sites vary. This one was for production street legal cars yet charts list 4 that were faster.

The fastest of any car was a Porsche 956 that ran 6:11:13 in a 1983 qualifier. Better several F1 cars. The car and driver wrecked later in Belgium. Driver killed and the 956 series retired for safety concerns.

But who knows as they are all fast and fantastically engineered machines driven by great drivers.

Not the fastest lap, but one of the most fun to watch was the RUF Yellowbird.

there is a show on Netflix called supercar i think? awesome documentary on porsche ferrari koenigsegg and others

Great video. Cars need to be street legal and being a production model, unlike the Ferrari 599XXX was. The Porsche 918 was bone stock setting a record. This Lambo seem to be missing the passenger seat, and what else. So, wait and see what the official Ring site says.

Ps; they should separate manual cars from paddle shifters even though the timing would be miniscule with
the right driver behind the wheel, JMHO

I believe it was called "Hyper cars"

There looked to be a Viper or 2 in the top 100. Surprised there didn't appear to be any 'Vettes.

Had an acquaintance that flew over to see his Porsche 993 come off the line and then got to take a couple circuits at the Nurburgring prior to it getting pack up and shipped to the sates. It cost extra but it was a strike off the top of his bucket list and worth every penny....Beautiful black wide rear profiled car. Might be the coolest street Porsche I ever saw. Pure raw power and the last of the air cooled generation.

A lap with the master. There is defiantly a vette or few in the records of street legal cars.

That was freaking awesome. That car sounded wicked. No turbos, no electric boost..... just v10 power.
It also burned almost 1/4 tank of fuel in 6 minutes..... that's awesome too :thumbup:

Jim Glickenhaus has been building his new street car based on the Enzo - it will be a production car and he is certain it will set the new record. I'm looking forward to seeing it run this year.

The one to one from Koenigsegg had the record in he bag until they wadded it before completing the lap.

There are a lot of people that want to say they have the fastest lap in a street production car - this is a pretty heated on going competition.

 

[PayDayClub]

that looks like a lot of work to drive that fast, passing all the cars that he did, just a little mistake would cost you your life

 

[boatpi]

That's a big thing about Lamborghini that I appreciate as previously noted, direct injection, no turbo, no supercharger, pump gas .

I'm going to the showing of the new Aventador S tomorrow four wheel steering!

Whats more impressive is the suspension in that car. The ring is very bumpy and that car soaks it up very very easily.

 

[spectracular]

Great video...

Here is another...not of a Lamborghini though.

You beat me to it regarding the fuel gauge. You can watch it go down. :eek

 

[H2O]

look at where that guy kept the revs, barely drops below 6K and mostly above 7K....probably not his first time on the ring :thumbup:

Top 5 favorite dream car of all time for me :thumbup:

Anything with 10 cyl having tached out on the track will do that. Especially if it is 8 liter.:skull

The V-10 engine used in the Galladro LP and Huracan 610 and 580 are just 5.2L. Since 2010 they are direct injection with redline between 8,500 and 9,000.

My buddy's G-Superleggera is almost as thirsty as my car even with the smaller displacement.

Holy Shit :eek My heart's racing just sitting here. Geeze imagine the handling if they had rubber on the ground instead of ball bearings

Then to add to this guy's amusement, he's gotta dodge Sunday Drivers who by all appearances have rear vision and already know he's coming.

Whatta ride :yikes

Oh and no helmet or life jacket :skull

 

[boatpi]

As unbelievable as this may seem they actually get about 20 miles a gallon or more at 75 miles an hour it's direct injection that it works on the fuel economy.

hell ya he is in penny loafes,jeans and a tshirt no helmet or driving gloves drove the shit outta that mofo:champagne:

 

[spectras only]

As unbelievable as this may seem they actually get about 20 miles a gallon or more at 75 miles an hour it's six elevation it works on the fuel economy.

I get about 20 mpg in 6th on the highway keeping a raw egg between my foot and the go-pedal.Cut that in half city driving,stop and go.:skull

 

[boatpi]

Trust me at 70 to 80 miles an hour sometimes it'll get 22 miles a gallon around town about 15 to 16, unless in the back country really getting on it hard

 

[traquer]

That's an insane time. Great driver and doesn't overdrive the car

 

[pronstar]

Smaller displacement, but much higher RPM...so he's moving almost as much air as you are, methinks.

Don't have to turn 8000+ to go fast. Torque is king

 

[pronstar]

I'm pretty sure a Viper ACR is close to the top of the production-car record for a lap around the 'Ring.

The Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition is still up there as well, surprisingly, considering it came out in 2012 and doesn't make heroic HP by today's standards.

 

[spectras only]

The Radical is on top, bui I wouldn't call it a production car.

If the Chrysler boys weren't so cheap and develop an active air foil rear wing, they could have easily put the car near the top. With 1000# downforce, a lot of straightline performance lost on the Ring. Oh well, the Viper is history now anyways.

Maybe it's fake...


The last thing we need is another scandal to rock the faith of us enthusiasts.
Thanks to scandals like Dieselgate and GM?s ignition scandal, trust in the automotive community is at an all-time low. Currently, Fiat Chrysler is under investigation by the feds for allegedly installing cheat devices on its EcoDiesel engines while Ferrari has been accused of developing a device that rolls back the odometers of its cars and knowingly allowing dealerships to use them. Now the latest controversy comes to us via car blog Bridge To Gantry and YouTuber Misha Charoudin.
The subject in question is the recent Nurburgring lap record of the ultra-fast Lamborghini Huracan Performante, which shattered the lap time record for production cars by an astonishing five seconds. The previous record holder was the Porsche 918 Spyder, which has 887 horsepower and highly sophisticated track-bred technologies to help it ferociously claw the pavement. On the other hand, the Performante boasts between 625-640 horsepower, a lighter body, and aerodynamic upgrades to keep ahead of the heavy Porsche, but is that really enough to cream the 918 around the Green Hell? According to Lamborghini?s own video of the lap, maybe not.
The inconsistencies begin to emerge when looking at the speedometer that's layered onto the video and what the Huracan?s actual speedometer shows. At the same RPMs, different speeds can be seen on the layout, leading Bridge To Gantry to believe that a GPS speedometer was used to relay the speed layered on the video. While these devices are very precise, trees and other obstructions can cause temporary glitches. Breaking the video down frame by frame, we can see that in some sections, specifically at the 4 minute 28 second mark during the Performante?s lap, the speedometer goes from 131 km/h to 160 km/h in a single frame. The very next frame, the speedo reads 190 km/h.
This could be because of the GPS speedometer, but an alternate theory suggests that it could also be the result of the automaker adding up the fastest sectors of track cleared by the car to get a hypothetical fastest lap rather than just using the lap where the car actually went the fastest. Misha Charoudin's video further backs this up by pointing out that the frame leap seems to show shadows move a foot or more in that fraction of a second leap, indicating footage from two separate times of day. However, the real meat and potatoes used by Huracan Performante lap time conspiracy theorists comes when layering the Lamborghini?s time against the Porsche 918?s.
In many sections, the Porsche can be seen entering and exiting a portion of the track at faster speeds than the Huracan. Still, on camera it was being beat by the Lamborghini in terms of the time it takes to clear these sections. Bridge To Gantry speculates that the video is sped up by nearly five percent, making the Lambo appear to lap the ring faster than it may actually have. It would be a huge blow to the automaker?s reputation if it was caught lying about its lap time, but given Ferrari?s recent scandal, it seems more plausible to see an automaker blur the lines of the truth. Whether or not Lamborghini forged a lap time that it did not actually make, there?s no denying that something is off about the whole thing.
And then things came raining down on Lamborghini when, according to Jalopnik, Pirelli issued a press release claiming that the tires worn by the Performante were made specifically for the record attempt. If these tires are not the same set that comes on production units of the Performante, this would mean that even if the lap was real, the Performante would no longer be the fastest ?production? car.
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of things because it would be sad to see the legend of a car as epic as the Huracan Performante marred by a botched attempt to beat Porsche.
