I bet this car has upgrades the production car will not see. Iv heard some Performante owners that have taken their car on the Nordschleife say the car is nowhere capable of the time Lamborghini posted.

Not sure, but there was a Senna testing at the ‘Ring today...

On paper, it seems like it should be able to claim the top spot (but these things are done on tarmac, rather than paper )

I watched that again and it was an amazing drive, three things struck me, it didn’t appear to want to turn in without a real push, the car seemed to be bottoming out and looked uncomfortable, the lines were great and the drive was great but the car didn’t seem to flow in a way some cars do.

Still awesome drive

Did not break the official Porsche record time because they did not use CL rims !

1) this is not a turbo car, there isn't an 'upgrade' that could improve times enough to justify a big difference, maybe tires, but that's it.
2) that is some bulllshiiit. The factory lap was made on the limit of ability of both the car and the driver, but that doesn't mean that it is impossible to do a good btg lap or even a full lap. If owners go with aligment all out of place and new to the car and even the track, not on trofeo r, off course they will do slow times.

Take a seat numb nuts. There is plenty of upgrades that could improve times like a racing suspension, roll cage, racing tires, lighter body panels (explains the camo wrap) and an ecu tune that is not street legal. Wheres the glove box in that video? I can't even see a passenger seat... this car is stripped. Porsche does this much more legit. And iv heard it straight from experienced owners mouth with properly aligned Performante cars they don't think the car is capable of that time so relax fan boy.

Once they added rear wheel steering and that ALA aero.. it becomes a very capable car with a low and wide footprint.. no reason it shouldn't be very fast around a track.

Seriously.. that man was driving on the very ragged edge
