7:54 Nordschleife Short lap time by “Sport Auto” were seted in cold track, and Markus Shurig said that this car should be faster than this time.

7:54 on Nordschleife is lap time seted by “Sport Auto” magazine chief-editor Markus Shurig. This lap was on 20.600 m configuration of track.

7:56.50 is lap time seted by professional German GT1 and DTM racer Klaus Ludwig in 2006 by Auto Bild Sportscars magazine. As I know, Auto Bild Sportscars tested cars on FULL 20.832 m configuration of lap. So it all comes together, lap time in shorter lap with journalist is lower than lap time in longer lap with professional driver. Above 5–15 sec. So 7.56.50 is time for a Nordschleife Full.

Nordschleife Full Lap – 7:56.50 (Klaus Ludwig) Auto Bild Sportcars 03/2006.

Anybody have information about short Nordschleife Lap time. In some sources shows numbers about 7 min. 40 sec. Is this true? Who can found information on this issue of Auto Bild Sportcars and take a photos of them? And also for Bentley Continental GT lap, BMW M6 (E63), Lamborghini Gallardo SE, this car and Porsche Carrera GT?

A shame we never got acceleration stats for this car. If I were to assume how fast it is, it probably would be somewhere along these lines:

0-100: 3.9 seconds
0-160: 7.9 seconds
0-200: 12.0 seconds
0-250: 20.1 seconds
0-300: 36.9 seconds

Which puts it similar to the 2001 Lamborghini Murciélago and a Ferrari F50.

This would certainly be 45 seconds quicker around the 'ring if it used the 992 GT3's set of tires

the 355hp & 273lb-ft e46 csl - https://fastestlaps.com/models/bmw-m3-csl
it has no chance of beating the clk dtm on any track..
Power / weight 260 ps (256 bhp) / t <-- M3 CSL
Torque / weight 267 Nm (197 lb-ft) / t <-- M3 CSL
Power / weight 347 ps (342 bhp) / t <-- CLK DTM
Torque / weight 477 Nm (352 lb-ft) / t <-- CLK DTM

To be honest, the M3 CSL is faster only because it was driven by pro and the CLK DTM by journalists from a magazine. I even ain't Mercedes fan but this one was a hell of a car.

This thing looks so much better than the newer CLK 63 Black Series. Data is also impressive.

The NSX-R did not have 280BHP... it was considerably more, despite what Honda claim.


User avatar

And much less weight. Saying that a car is amazing just because it did something with less power is pointless.


User avatar

Douglas6250  16y ago

The NSX-R did this lap time with only 280BHP.

The 7:40min time is wrong..during this Autobild test published in 3/2006 the CLK DTM AMG reached a 7:56.50min driven by Walter Röhrl Klaus Ludwig and other real race drivers.. the conditions on that test day was not perfect Walter Röhrl reached at that day only a 7:39min with the Carrera GT ..11s slower as his best time
