Video worth watching: Porsche 911 GT2 RS fastest road car around Nurburgring
Get in the cockpit of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS that just smashed the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's fastest street-legal car lap record around the Nurburgring. The Lamborghini Huracan Performante had only recently broken the record previously held by Porsche's 918, so the German carmaker decided to reclaim the title. The video this week is from the GT2 RS driven by Porsche factory test driver Lars Kern, who shaved 5 seconds off the Performante's record, by clocking 6 minutes 47.3 seconds. Well, you have to see the video to believe the average speed for the record lap was 184.1kmph.
