Porsche has declared a time of seven minutes and 40 seconds for its new 911 GT3 3.8 model, driven on the north side of the Nurburgring by Walter Rohrl. The vehicle is identical to the production model that customers will have, and in this case a challenge to rival the Nissan GT-R, wasn’t lacking.

Another discussion regarding the veracity of times has started, comparing the Porsche 997 with the GT-R. Nissan declared 7:27 for the GT-R, with Porsche challenging, saying that for a production series on sale in the US, 7:54 would be closer to reality, outside of tyres and lowered bases used to obtain the record.

It seems that Rohrl has also tested the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, achieving a time of 7:45, throwing Ferrari into the mix as well. The challenge is still open and the only thing that’s certain is that we’re talking some very fast cars.
