Fastest Nürburgring Lap Times For Exotic Cars

February 18, 2021
in Features
20C0672 004 1200x800 1

Automotive performance can be measured in more ways than we can count, but lap times at the Nürburgring are a great equalizer. It has almost 13 miles of punishing pavement and concrete with 1,000 ft of elevation change. It is home to several major races, and also to engineering facilities for most European automakers. But over the last two decades, American and Japanese marques have also realized the potential of The Green Hell. Jackie Steward coined that term after being witness to the brutality it inflicts on driver and machine. Many specialized cars have been built to make the ultimate lap time, and many street cars have also been fine-tuned at the track. The fastest cars to ever hit the track are also some of the coolest cars, but we will cover the race cars another day. Let’s focus on the fastest production cars from each of the big brands.

We’re going to break it down by manufacturer, so let’s see how many cars each brand has in the top 100 lap times.

‘Ring Rank: These numbers are each car’s position among the 100 fastest cars to ever lap the track. The number at the right is the lap time. (Duplicates of a same M/Y vehicle are not included, fastest lap is picked)


Lamborghini Huracan Performante

Lamborghini: 5

You might wonder how the Italians became so dominant at a German track. European borders are not the same as they once were, and neither are manufacturers. Volkswagen owns Porsche, Audi, and Lamborghini which helps them cut development costs by sharing platforms. The most obvious example has been the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo/Huracan. You can’t deny the power of V10 engines and quattro AWD.

RANKMODELLAP TIME
5.2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante  6:52.01
10.2015 Lamborghini Aventador SV6:59.73
44.2011 Lamborghini Aventador7:25
562016 Lamborghini Huracan LP610-47:28
942010 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera7:38
S18 2164

Porsche: 15

Homefield advantage can be claimed here. The ‘Ring has seen more rear-mounted flat sixes than anything else, and its here where drivers like Nikki Lauda, Walter Röhrl and Sabine Sabine Schmitz learned the art. You probably guessed there would be a majority of 911s on this list, but two Panameras are here to mix it up. For a quick refresher, the 911 Turbo and Turbo S are AWD. The GT2/RS is twin-turbo RWD, and the GT3/RS are naturally aspirated and RWD. The Carrera GT is a naturally aspirated Formula1 V10, and the 918 Spyder is a twin-turbo V8 electric hypercar.

RANKMODELLAP TIME
3.2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991.2)6:47.25
7.2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991.2)6:56.4
8.2013 Porsche 918 Spyder  6:57
11.2022 Porsche 911 GT3 (992)6:57.927
22.2018 Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2)7:12.7
28.2010 Porsche Turbo S (991.2)7:17.11
29.2010 Porsche GT2 RS   7:18
38.2017 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (991.2)7:23.77

952017 Porsche Panamera Turbo7:38
98.2010 Porsche 911 Turbo (997)7:39
180078 car Ferrari 488 pista

Ferrari: 6

Enzo built his house in the middle of their test track. Piero lives there now, so why do they need to travel north to set lap times? None of the XX series supercars are on the list, and the only halo car tested in Germany was the Enzo. Perhaps they are waiting for the world to show up at Fiorano for a battle royale….

12.2019 Ferrari 488 Pista7:00.03
34.2015 Ferrari 488 GTB7:21.63

99.2007 Ferrari F430 Scuderia7:39
NissanGT R 107 1200x697 1

Nissan: 4

Godzilla is a long way from home when each new Nissan GT-R is tested. The only V6 powered cars on our list, they are also AWD with twin turbo power.

RANKMODELLAP TIME

preview 928x522 1

Mercedes: 7

Karl Benz patented the original automobile (the Benz Patent Motorwagen) in 1885, so it’s fitting that his company is represented here. Three manufacturers are technically represented here, as AMG developed the SLS and GT-R on their own. McLaren built the SLR.

RANKMODELLAP TIME
1.2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series6:43.616
14.2019 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro7:04.632

47.2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series7:25.67
62.2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT7:30
802016 Mercedes-AMG GT S7:35

BMW: 3

The Ultimate Driving Machine is also very capable on the track. It is shocking to see how fast the 2003 M3 was. Straight six power without forced induction and a perfect weight balance are why the E46 series is so admired.

RANKMODELLAP TIME
53.2016 BMW M4 GTS7:27.88
83.2020 BMW M5 Competition (F90)7:35.90
972019 BMW M5 (F90)7:38.92

Chevrolet: 9

Many laugh at the Americans, but you can’t argue at the price. The only cars that don’t need to be LS Swapped, the Camaros and Corvettes are powered by 5.7 and 6.2-liter small-block V8s. If you are wondering why the fastest car is a C6, Chevy is probably waiting on the C7 ZR1 to be finished. Notice that all the performance editions begin with the letter Z? Zora Duntov would be happy to see his innovations of fuel injection and independent suspension have evolved so far.

McLaren: 4

The MP4-12C was their first production car since the F1, and it arrived with technologies developed for and at the world’s greatest tracks. With carbon-fiber bodies and twin-turbo V8 engines, weight is kept low thanks to brilliant technology. All modern McLarens don’t have sway bars, instead fancy hydraulic suspension controls body roll. The weight savings and ride quality are simply amazing. Obviously, the models that have arrived since the 12C, but McLaren have been holding out for something special to raise the bar.
