Holy crap, that's honestly barely believable!
7'14, 1665kgs, 3l/100. Those numbers shoud NOT refer to the same car! How do they do it??? That's just ridiculous.
It's lap time and weight are both very close to Nissan GT-R (but price is very different)

I was hoping the 918 would be much faster - this is also only 4 sec faster than 997 GT2RS official time.

Yes very good point Grant. I always assumed that because of the high weight, it would be great to achieve a similar time than the GT2RS, but the you're right, the Japs have already proved that. God the GTR is mighty. The LFA with Nurburg pack is even quicker I think.
But hey, you can't drive over 1000 miles on a single tank with a GTR! Al Gore behind the wheel of a 918 can!
