That thing is a BEAST! The more amazing shots are from track side as it blasts by. The acceleration and traction/handling is incredible and doesn't look real.

If anybody is wondering, this is the unrestricted 919 Evo that Porsche built to specifically destroy lap records. Looks like it is doing its job!

If he has the new 8 speed PDK he could have gone 250 easy.

I saw 369 or 370 kph = roughly 229/230 mph... crazy stuff! Really good driver. Nerves/concentration of steel...
