Especially for the Ringtijdfanaten: the sang all around in the corridors, but now claims Porsche, the oficieël. The 918 Spyder would be a time of 6:57 minutes on the Nordschleife impressive.
During the recordjacht was always a trio, and the 918’s, piloted by Walter Röhrl, Porsche test driver Timo Kluck and Porsche factory-backed rider Marc Lieb, and with the Weissach-package and specially developed Michelin tyres on the Nordschleife gedenderd. Ultimately, it was Marc Lieb who was the fastest time of 6:57 on the clock, which corresponds to an average speed of 179.5 km/h. Whoa.
On the one hand, we say: your move, P1 and Cowardly Arie, but on the other hand, this is a claim without evidence (and not the first). However, the Germans that Marcus Schurig, editor-in-chief of the magazine ‘sport auto’ was present as an independent witness. Nice, but we wait on the video. If that ever comes.
In addition we have a beautiful set of livepics of the 918 Spyder for you, enjoy!
Update: see, that’s a start. Porsche launched just a video montage of his recordrun. Watch him on Nürburgjunk!
Update 2: Now the full lap is released, a tribute to Porsche that finally claims are even supported. Therefore, it is the original ‘no evidence’ in the title turned to ‘proof’. Video!
