The Nürburgring Nordschleife is where records are made and erased at once. When automakers bring a vehicle to the German track, the rewards are great, but the disappointment is just as acute for the outgoing record holder. The glory goes to Mercedes-AMG today, while a sadness is surely felt in Lamborghini.
On Tuesday, Mercedes-AMG announced the 2021 AMG GT Black Series he is now the official record holder for the fastest lap around the Nürburgring with a time of 6 minutes, 43.616 seconds. Last time squeeze the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and your previous record 6: 44.97 lap time. Mercedes-AMG also said its GT3-inspired performance car set a time of 6: 48.047 on the longest full track, 12.94 miles long, a standard implemented last year. But it is the shortest 12.88 mile course where the popular spitting contest takes place.
AMG factory driver Maro Engel took the car through Green Hell in record time with no modifications made to the car from his factory equipment. The AMG GT Black Series already features a highly adjustable suspension and Mercedes-AMG absolutely took advantage of this to adjust the car for the ring. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R MO tires provided traction during the lap, which also comes with the car once it forks $ 390,000. The biggest part of the package is the 720 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo flat-crank V8.
However, we will no longer retain them. Take a look at the back images above. It’s a fitting achievement as Mercedes is on top of the world in motorsports with another Formula One constructors victory this year.
