Watch The Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Set A Nürburgring Lap Record

Six minutes and fifty-seven seconds. That's all it took for the Porsche 918 Spyder to lap the world's most storied and difficult race course. Now you can follow along as Porsche's new halo hybrid makes the fastest production Nürburgring run ever.

As Matt pointed out this morning, the blindingly fast run was the quickest lap ever for a street-legal vehicle, and it was done on Michel Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires with Porsche racer and test driver Mark Lieb behind the wheel.

Also, it sounds amazing. Just amazing. I could listen to the growl of that V8 all day long, hybrid or not. All hail the 'Ring King!
