AUM,

It stands to reason that its not the video that was altered but rather the car. Its pretty clear that in order to obatain such a lap time the car used was not precisely a production version driven of a dealer's lot. Nothing new, back in the mid 1990's Nissan made a similar marketing stunt by claiming a sub-8 min NRing lap time for its R-33 GT-R, the predecesor or the current GT-R, and it was later discovered that they had used slick tires instead of street tires to achieve that lap time.

What's really hard for me to believe and to this day blows my mind, honestly,  is that anyone with a minimum knowledge of sportcars and the Nurburgring could believe that the formula 480HP+1700Kg=7:29sec could be even remotely posible or remotely close to reality, that really puts a lot of things into perspective when talking about this to other people.
