Ferrari have announced today that they have broken the 7 minute barrier at Nurburgring Nordschleife or "Green Paradise", as I would rather call it.
They say their Ferrari 599 XX has lapped the Ring in 6 minutes and 58 seconds and no other road car derivative has ever done it quicker.
Ahh... If only the 599 XX was no "road car derivative" but a real road car...
Just to clarify things - we include laptimes only for road legal cars and 599 isn't even close. Still - if you wonder how a sub 7 minute lap looks like from drivers perspective, visit the ferrari.com for in-car footage. And crank up your audio! That V12 sound is sensational.
