Porsche 911 GT2 RS Nearly Hits Lamborghini Huracan on Nurburgring, Goes Offroad

This tale is based on a lap that saw two drivers with plenty of Ring experience going for a cat and moused game during a Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days) session.

The lead car was a Lamborghini Huracan Performante, while the one chasing it was a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, so we're talking record holders here.

Despite the official lap time of the rear-engined machine being a bit sharper than that of the Raging Bull, the serious traffic easily ironed out the difference between the two.

However, at a certain point, the Porsche driver barely avoided rear-ending the Lambo - had the man left some room for maneuvering, he would've had enough time to brake.

Nevertheless, the Neunelfer wielder, who has over 4,000 laps under his belt, was forced to steer around the V10 supercar, getting just a few inches close to the metallic protection element on the side of the track.

Note that this 2RS features quite a few track mods, with these involving Brembo steel brakes - the steel units are the best solution for those who spend plenty of miles at the track, due to the stratospheric maintenance costs of carbon-ceramic brakes. In fact, I covered this topic in the recent 992 Porsche 911 Carrera S review, when talking about the optional goodies one can select for the eigth-generation model.

And while the Instagtam post below highlights the white-knuckle moment, the YouTube video underneath it showcases the full lap (note there were no bikes allowed on the track on that session).
