Viper ACR: Fastest Production Car @ Nürburgring



There's been a lot of incredible supercar contenders fighting for this production lap Green Hell lap record spot, but the Dodge Viper ACR SRT-10 has done it again, with veteran GT driver, Dominik Farnbacher setting an awesome 7:12.13 in the analogue, RWD, manual shifter ACR. The Viper was tweaked with semi-slick tyres, lightweight bits and bobs, racing brakes and aerodymanic aids, but all of that went into production, so, fair play. The time is two seconds faster than the nearest rival, and some 10-seconds faster than the last attempt. The 600bhp V10 engine we know is a beast, and the torque delivery obviously suited to the Green Hell, but the double wishbone suspension, beefy brakes and aero tweaks must be amazing too, for a time like that, and to see off the recent Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition lap record (7:14.6, although this was set on road tyres!), and Porsche 911 GT2RS (7:18), Corvette ZR1 (7:19), Corvette Z06 (7:22.7) and Nissan GT-R (7:24.2). Dodge can add this amazing accolade to the 19 lap records they already hold stateside. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
