Nordschleife Lap Times

[Tai]

Where Honda compares to the best of the best: (Perhaps previously discussed, but interesting nonetheless)

I believe Best Motoring's Motoharu Kurosawa (Gan-San) also drove the 1st generation NA1 NSX (most similar to US Spec) at 8:16, the NA2-S Zero at 8:13, the NA1-R at 8:06. A journalist from "Sport Auto" made 8:09 in the NA2-R. The NA2-R also broke 8 minutes tying the 360 Challenge Stradale and 996 Turbo. The 360 Challenge Stradale was wearing "sport tyres", but the NSX-R was driven that time by Gan San. Note the F430 F1 lapped only one second quicker, but who knows who that "Sport Auto" driver was.

One of us should ship out for the challenge!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife_fastest_lap_times

The Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany with its remaining 20.8km long old section dating from 1927 is used by various motoring magazines and vehicle manufacturers for testing. Lap times of so-called "road legal" "production" cars are reported for comparison or promotion purposes.
The German magazine de:sport auto publishes its "Supertest" of cars, in which the laptime (usually driven by editor-in-chief Horst von Saurma) at the Nordschleife is the most discussed result. The magazine also runs a challenge for the fasted lap time driven with a car that is road legal (TÜV) and registered in Germany. The road legality rule also applies for the tires.

I have a feeling the NSX-R time with Gan San wasn't quite a full lap.

 

[NSXFRIEND]

NSX should do 8:20-25, I know its a faster car on the track than a 993 C2 and M Coupe BMW . A ZO6 in stock trim beating an F430 impossible. F430 should be slightly faster than a 996 GT3.

 

[areout]

Z06 is quite fast on the track, and F430 is not a world beater.

I have a feeling the NSX-R time with Gan San wasn't quite a full lap.

Yeah but thats estimated lap (he covered 99% of the track in like 7:50).

 

[EvilSTi7]

you can add the Pagani Zonda F clubsport at 7:27

[areout]

Yeah that Zonda is quick, however McLaren F1 with HDF kit would even beat that time with race tires

 

[myguitar]

Looking at the first few cars that beat the NSX-R by two or three sec's, all of them have a higher top speed than NSX, which probably is the reason they had a better time because of the long high speed strech on the end of the track.

This also depends on the drivers, if a same person drove all these cars, the order would be completely different.

thanks for the list.

Hey! I just made a thread about this.

It appears that the time is legit after all. I always found it unlikely that BM didn't know how to time a lap. Funny how this "not a full lap" business became common knowledge.

Wow that list really shows just how impressive the porsche gt3 really is. Awesome how that little ugly car hangs with the big boys which have much much more HP.

 

[Synthesis]

what? you mean an M3 CSL?? :tongue:
ugh, i really don't like porsche.

That's a miscellelaneous list and excludes alot of cars which fall into those ranges. It still give you a good idea though. Here's a very detailed and comprehensive list.
