Nurburgring

The 595hp Nissan GT-R NISMO set a lap time at Nürburgring of 7:08.69, which makes the GT-R NISMO the holder of the volume production car lap record at the German road course. The Nissan NISMO team recently shared this behind the scenes video of the work that went into preparing the car and setting the lap time.

With Mercedes recently announcing the end of production of the gullwing SLS AMG supercar, the company decided to take its fastest production SLS AMG onto the Nurburgring and show the world what it could do. The SLS AMG Coupé Black Series, which boasts a 6.3 liter, 622hp V8 that does 0-to-60 in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph, was driven, interestingly, not by a professional driver but by an AMG engineer.

If you think you have a hard time getting down an unplowed road in your rear-wheel drive Chevy, how about trying it in a Formula 1 car? With temperatures hovering just around 3 degrees Fahrenheit and the track covered with ice and snow, Andy Gülden, the Chief Instructor of the Nürburgring Driving Academy, drives a Nürburgring Formula Race Car around the Grand Prix Track then takes it out on the grueling, 12.8 mile Nordschleife road track.

With a light drizzle falling on the famed 12.9 mile Nürburgring track, the 505 horsepower V8 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 clocks in with an impressive lap time of 7:37.47. That time bests the published times for the Porsche 911, the Lexus LFA, and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
