Porsche has set another new record on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in co-operation with Manthey-Racing. On Thursday, 25 October 2018, the Porsche GT2 RS MR with 515 kW (700 hp) completed a lap of the 20.6 km circuit in 6:40.3 minutes. No other road-legal vehicle has ever been so fast on ‘The Green Hell’ track. Porsche test driver, Lars Kern, was at the wheel of the sports car, which had been specially set up for the Nordschleife by Porsche engineers and Manthey-Racing experts.
