Nissan GT-R does 7.30m at Nürburgring



The Nürburgring is one of the most challenging racetracks in the world, driving to the limit is very dangerous and a full lap in 7:30 minutes is an absolutely great lap time, and doing it during a public trackday event with other cars driving is just incredible! This quick lap has been done with a completely stock 2012 Nissan GT-R, just sit and enjoy 20.8km of speed!

What a lap! The Huayra at Top Gear!



Just like a kid in a Christmas morning, most of the petrolheads (including me) had a similar reaction to the long waited arrival of Top Gear's 19th season, HAPPINESS. To start the season in a great style, Hammond has reviewed the Pagani Huayra, the latest creation of Mr.Pagani. No wonder Hamster loves it, he has always been a huge fan of Pagani and this car had to be tested by him. To show the maximum potentiality of the italian hypercar, Stig took the drive and set a lap time of 1.13.8, which is not just a fast lap, but the fastest lap of a road production car on the Top Gear test track! The Huayra has been faster even than the track-monster Ariel Atom V8 and the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport WRE, is it enough to prove that the Huayra is damn quick?

A new record at Nürburgring

The power of lightness. Light cars with a good amount of power are little rockets on wheels that can compete with the most expensive and fast supercars, thanks to the favorable power/weight ratio, a few examples are the Ariel Atom and the Lotus Exige. There's a new car in the market that has set a remarkable lap time around Nürburgring, point of reference for the automotive factories from all around the world. The little Formula Ford, moved with a tiny turbocharged 3cyl engine with 205hp has set a very fast lap time of 7 minutes and 22 seconds, making it alot faster than supercars (and even hypercars!) such as the Ferrari Enzo, Nissan GT-R or the Porsche 997 GT2 RS.

Sabine Schmitz, the queen of the Nürburgring sets a lap time of 8 minutes and 49 seconds with the massive Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8, not really a track use car, but this racetrack is a point of reference for the automotive fatories of all the world.
