QUICK READ

Hypercar

GIVEN that the Mercedes-amg One is essentially an F1 car for the road, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the hypercar has broken the Nurburgring record for the fastest production car lap. Still, a 6-minute 35.183 second lap time is hugely impressive, beating the Porsche 911 GT2 RS by around eight seconds.

DTM driver Maro Engel enthused: “I didn’t expect that we would be able to set such a lap time with these (partially wet) track conditions. Like Lewis Hamilton and George Russell on their race weekends, I also had to deploy the electrical energy of the hybrid drive in the best possible way.”
