Porsche breaks an "unbeatable" speed record



[ad_1]

Never before has the Nürburgring been faster than the hybrid Porsche

It's called "The Green Hell" for a reason: the Nürburgring Nordschleife 1945 of 20.8 kilometers . It is considered one of the most difficult and challenging racetracks in the world. The Time 06.11.13 has been left in the story since it was put by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 at a training session for the Nüburgring 1000 endurance km in 1983.

Nordschleife

The record is 35 years, due to the fact that there has been no rush on Nordschleife since 1984 . Then, the new track of the Grand Prix was 5148 km

"The Green Hell" is still used to test several prototypes and it is also available to the public for a fee, since you have a car registered in the street. Not so impressive: A young woman was trying to break the speed record on E6

Broken record

Now Porsche was giving itself a goal to beat the old record, and that with their race car 919 Hybrid Evo. With a V4 turbocharged engine developing a power of 720 horsepower, factory manager Timo Bernhard has not been content to equal time. 05.19.55 now sounds the new record, almost a minute faster than the old 956, and you can see the whole tour of "The Green Hell" in the video at the top

– It's a wonderful time for me and the whole team. This is the top of the cake for the 919 program, Bernhard said in a press release
