7:32 Min. with Trofeo RS and 680 hp tells me all I need to know about the cornering abilities of this car...

shame, the old a45 and cla 45 were pretty respectable in that regard

For all the extra power and weight we got 13 seconds faster.

And this is a manufacturer lap vs. the last gen mag time...that's...not really sounding all that amazing. :/

to be fair its probably more like 17 seconds considering this is the 20.8 km route and the old car did it on the 20.6 km route. but i think the old car could get pretty close if it had the same treatment of manufacturer lap and driver, just purely down to its much lighter weight and that cars pretty solid setup

Oh that's completely my mistake sorry. I hadn't watched the video and forgot we have two nordschleife configs lol. But yeah the old one having a mag time leaves the door open for it to go faster.

All good, but I think the old car can probably do a 7:36-42 on this config with manufacturer support and driver

Well it's faster than the RS3 and the M2, but it is electric too.
