Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition was able to enjoy the glory of being the fourth fastest ever production car driven around the Nurburgring with its lap time of 7:14.64. Its place has been took by the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR which managed to lap the Ring at a very close timing: a bit more than 2 seconds faster than the LFA Nurburgring version, in 7:12.13. The driver who managed to set the new record is Dominik Farnbacher, a well-known German racer that has competed in ALMS, Rolex Grand Am, and the European Le Mans Series among others.
The Viper SRT10 ACR is appearently very familiar with these kinds of results, managing to prove its value as the world’s fifth fastest production car, back in 2008 when it raced around the Nordschleife in 7:22.10 and Chrysler’s latest ‘victory’ positions the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR only 0.13 seconds behind the Gumpert Apollo Sport, the third fastest ever on Germany’s famous track.
We will keep waiting for some more outstanding results, not only from the car that has already shown wat it can do, but from drivers all around the world as well. Fingers crossed!
