Lap was completed along the 22.6 km long round in the Eifel at an average speed of 164 km/h.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> before that, the average times were about 7'50 minsBut... :nyehehe: First previewed at the AutoRAI held in February, the D8 270 RS is a road going copy of the Nurburgring record setter. It will be built in a limited edition of 25 cars, and so far most have been spoken for.Netherlands-based Donkervoort create supercars that could be described as a modern Lotus 7s, a car first built in the 1950s that became popular due to its race-bred minimalism, lightweight aluminum body and incredible power-to-weight ratio. However, the D8 270 RS takes the Lotus 7 theme one step further by introducing a turbocharged Audi 1.8T 20V that produces 270 horsepower. Combined with an extremely light, 'no frills' chassis, the D8 270 RS produces over 400 bhp per tonne!No wonder this Donkervoort beat the Porsche Carrera GT time of 7:32 by 15 fifteen seconds. Now the Sport Auto Nurburgring record is in the hands of Joop Donkervoort with a time of 7:18.01.  :blink:  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />  He says this feat was possible due to "the special configuration of the suspension and the enormously stiff chassis of the 270 RS".and here's a pix of the monster that ate the GT for breakfast...</blockquote>
