Official: The P1 does sub-7m at the Green Hell


The time we have been waiting is nearly come. After a lot of testing and spy footages of the P1 around the Nürburgring, McLaren has shown their first official video regarding the attempt to break the 7 minutes barrier. They did it! But sadly, that's all we know. The lap time that McLaren has set to beat is 6:57 minutes belonging to the Porsche 918 Spyder. Now the questions is.. is the P1, faster than the 918?

Do you remember the recent spy videos of the 2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo lapping the Nürburgring? Everyone expected it to be a remarkable supercar and without any disappointment today we find out that actually, it is! The extreme version tuned by Nismo produces 600hp and 652nm out the 3.8L V6 biturbo engine, but probably the information that amaze us more is the incredible lap time of 7 minutes and 8 seconds at the Nürburgring!

Man loses his lunch at the Nürburgring


This must be the first time on track for this guy and I'm sure he will never forget it for two reasons: the first because he's riding shotgun with one of the best track cars at the Nürburgring and second because he just has learnt one of the most important rules before going on track.. don't eat heavy food!

LaFerrari testing at the Nürburgring!


Does the LaFerrari wants to join the exclusive sub-7 minutes club of the Nürburgring? It would be exciting if Ferrari joins the battle between McLaren and Porsche to make the best lap time of the fastest street legal car, but I guess the technicians of Maranello are driving the car at the Green Hell for other reasons, the car is not yet ready and for this reason Ferrari has delaied the production to 2014, mean while both productions of the P1 and 918 Spyder have started this month.

2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo spied


What you see here is the 2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo caught on camera during a session of testing at Nürburgring.. where else? After 6 years and several facelifts, " Godzilla " is still on the market and before the presumed successor to come in 2015, Nissan wants to improve the car and with a rumored 0-100 km/h sprint in just 2 seconds, the GT-R Nismo might be the fastest as well as the most powerful road going model that Nissan has ever produced, and it really looks as fast as we can imagine from this video!

Drunk petrolheads at the Nürburgring



Is there anything better than drinking and watching a parade of fast cars at the Nürburgring? This video reminds a lot our traditional burnouts in the tunnels of Monza after a trackday, and this scene is quite similar, but of course it takes place in Germany, and that involves a lot of BMWs and beer, a good mix if you want to see right now a crowd of drunk petrolheads yelling and stopping every M-Car for some revs and accelerations.

The car loses the rear at around 160km/h and smashes roughly multiple times against the barriers.
