And VW looked at the Nurburgring and wept because it had no more automakers to conquer. So now the empire is fighting itself.
A few months ago, Lamborghini was accused of bending the laws of physics after its Huracan gave the mighty Porsche 918 Spyder a bloody nose, beating its lap time at the ‘Ring. Now it’s the Aventador SVJ’s turn to potentially dethrone another Porsche time.
YouTube Misha Charoudin claims that the V12-powered Lambo blitzed the track in just 6:54.
On its own, that’s a deeply impressive time that would put it ahead of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS’s 6:56 time. But it would it would be a little embarrassing for fans of the mighty V12—since the V10 Huracan ran a 6:52—if it weren’t for one detail.
Charoudin claims that the time was run in traffic, with cones at the start-finish line. The argument is that under optimal conditions, the Aventador SVJ could reliably cut time off the lap.
Two seconds seems like an easy enough number to shave off its time to beat its little sister. Cutting the seven seconds necessary to beat the 911 GT2 RS and take the lap record, though, will be a tall order. That said, few people would have ever expected the Huracan to be as fast as the 918 Spyder, much less beat it around the ‘Ring. Lamborghini is nothing if not full of surprises these days.
Whatever the case, Lamborghini will presumably let us know at some point in the near future, the internet will go nuts, Lambo will be accused of lying, and we’ll be here for all of it.
