The Corvette ZR1X is now is the fastest American production car to ever lap the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.
It completed a lap of the full 12.92-mile measured layout used for official attempts in 6:49.275. That’s enough to take the American manufacturer record away from the Ford Mustang GTD by just under 3 seconds, or enough to beat the 992.1-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS by less than a tenth of a second.
The RWD ZR1 finished its lap in 6:50.763 (which is also quicker than the existing American car record), and the Z06 clocked in at 7:11.826, good for fifth among laps for timed American cars.
