Sub 7 minute Nurburgring laptime for the Porsche 918 Spyder? Yep. Record 6 minute 57 second Nurburgring laptime video
Wow. Quite simply, wow. Talk about raising the bar quite a bit. Porsche originally stated the 918 Spyder Nurburgring laptime was a very impressive 7 minutes and 14 seconds putting the hybrid sports car ahead of the Lexus LF-A, Carrera GT, 997 GT2-RS, etc. Porsche raised the bar to breaking the 7 minute barrier with an absolutely stunning 6 minute and 57 second laptime. The 918 Spyder setting the laptime had the Weissach package and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
Porsche factory race car driver Marc Lieb piloted the car for the record setting laptime which annihilates the next closest cars the Gumpert Apollo Sport with its 7:11.57 and the Viper ACR's 7:12.13. Only the non-street legal roadcourse special Radical SR8 LM has posted a quicker laptime with a 6:48.
Jaw dropping performance from the 918 Spyder as Porsche shows the hybrid car is the real deal.

Glad Porsche was the first to break 6 min in a production.
Car looked really stable for the speeds.

Wowww. This is awesome news. Although rumor is McLaren has had the P1 down to 6:55, which is entirely believable given its more powerful and lighter. But I don't care. The 918 is my new favorite car. Looks like sex, sounds like sex, goes like hell, and is relatively "affordable" compared to the LF, P1, Veyron, Huayra, and Agrera R. I love this thing.

Jalopnik a while back, there was a rumor that they had done a lap at 7:01 but didn't want it released because they knew it could do a 6:55 and were waiting to publish that. Although nobody really knows. And yeah 2 seconds at the ring is like, a tenth of a second at Laguna Seca. Not really a big difference.
It never ends. Quicker you say?

Yeah most definitely. I hope someone takes the Ferrari to the ring as well, not sure if they themselves will as they tend to stay out of that whole thing.
