This lap was recorded at least 14 years ago. Video may not exist. In fact I would bet it doesn't.
Turbo S that beat this RS 4.0 was generation 991. It was whole new generation and we all know how much faster 911 has got with each generation.

The link on the reference no longer works, and the video probably got lost with it.

If there even was a video at all. GoPro's and such things were not as prolific.

The performance of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is also track-ready and proven. Available exclusively with a six-speed sports transmission designed for circuit use, the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in under twelve seconds. The top speed of the GT3 RS 4.0 is 310 km/h, on par with the standard GT3 RS. While the special model boasts 50 more horsepower, it also generates more downforce and thus higher drag. However, for its trip through the Green Hell, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, which weighs just 1,360 kilograms with a full tank, claims a lap time of 7:27 minutes. The power-to-weight ratio is said to be 2.72 kg/hp, and average fuel consumption is stated at 13.8 liters.
