Hockenheim laptimes from same issue:

1:10.0* -- 133.714 km/h – Porsche 997 GT2, 530 PS/1497 kg (sport auto 11/07) *estimated
1:16.8 --- 121.875 km/h – BMW M5, 507 PS/1867 kg (sport auto 11/07)
1:18.4 --- 119.387 km/h - Irmscher Ople GT, 315 PS/1394 kg (sport auto 11/07)
1:18.5 --- 119.236 km/h - Mercedes CLS 63 AMG, 514 PS/1958 kg (sport auto 11/07)
1:21.0 --- 115.556 km/h - Audi A3 Sportback 3.2 quattro, 250 PS/1632 kg (sport auto 11/07)



Nurburgring: 7:33 --- 163.708 km/h

as fast as the Zonfa F and only a second slower than the CGT, the 530 bhp Porsche GT2 clearly demonstrates what is is capable of, a perfect handling and the highest limits for the road-going and most powerful 911 ever!


Hockenheim short track: 1:10.0* -- 133.714 km/h

time is only an estimation as not all the sectors were available for testting that day. But this time is abloutely realistic, a 2nd test will show if it is a low 10 or a high 9 at the end.

thsi would be faster than the Zonda F and nearly as fast as the CGT, Koenisgegg CCR or the TechArt GT street before.


0-200-0 km/h: 16.3 secs.

evenb w/o launch control is has a lot of traction and so lines up with the even more powerful LP640 and is faster than CLK DTM AMG or Ford GT


aerodynmaics:

cd=0.32
9 kg and 29 kg downforce at 200 km/h in front/rear

very well balanced, even though it produces so much downforce it reaches a top speed of 330 km/h, the aerodynmic setup also explains the perfect handling and stability at sppeds above 200 km/h


max. lat. accelewration: 1.35g

suspension works perfect, it shows absolutexl no obersteer and always alows a perfect control of the car in motion.

1.35g with Michelin Pilot Cup sport tyres is the same level as the CGT, Gallardo SL, F430


specs:
530 PS at 6,500 rpm
680 Nm at 4,500 rpm
3,600 ccm
147.2 PS/litre

Michelin Pilot Cup sport
235/35 ZR 19 and 325/30 ZR 19 in front/rear

380/350 mm ventilated ceramic disk brakes in front/rear

MSRP: 189,496 EUR

1497 kg
357 bhp/ton

0-100 km/h: 3.8 s
0-160 km/h: 7.7 s
0-200 km/h: 11.5 s

Vmax: 329 km/h


18m slalom: 72.6 km/h

36m slalom: 139 km/h

faster and so better handling than the CCR (138 km/h), Zonda F (137 km/h) Gallardo SL (136 km/h)


110m evasion test: 157 km/h

a perfect 10, as good handling and respodning as the CGT, even better than the GT street or LP640, only beaten by the Zonda F (159 km/h), the CCR (158 km/h) and 997 GT3 (158 km/h)


wet handling: 1:29.7

again, a perfect handling but due to turbo boost not as neutral as expected
LP 640 (1:29.2
Z06 (1:30.3)
997 Turbo (1:31.6)
599 GTB (1:31.8)


verdict: 78 out of 80 possible pts.

best result ever, the most powerful and best handling 911 ever opens anew chapter in history, best result ever in sport auto supertest, taking the lead on front of the CGT and GT3 RS (both 77 pts.), the LP650 (76), the Zonda F (75) and the CCR (74)

a perfect 10, a prefect super sportscar for the dialy driver, very reliable, easy to to control, offering a lot of fun

Fast...this is a really fast time... Walter Röhrl did it in 7:32,18! So they really had a great driver...

Same driver as always for sportauto supertest. horst von saurma

damn that is one heck of a time..
all respect to porsche and the mighty GT2, i just wish it looked as cool as the 996 gt2..sadly it doesent..

Same time as the Zonda F ,did they test the F430 Scuderia yet?

I'm not the least bit suprised. Porsche's have always done one thing, and that's kick the competition in the arse.

Update, see first post-

Great car... 7.33 min is like whoaaa (however the flexibility times are a bit slow...no not slow...they're SLOWER than the Turbo's)

Still Scuderia time,anyone?
