That's because this Green Hell adventure sees a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the PDK kind, playing with a Mercedes-AMG GT R.

This stunt is all about a Rennsport Neunelfer, which was cast in the role of a camera car, chasing the meanest machine Affalterbach currently has to offer.

For the record, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the kind of car that can lap the Ring in 7:20. As for the Mercedes-AMG GT R, the V8 monster managed to get round the Nordschleife in 7:10, albeit with the time having been delivered during a Sport Auto test - this means that the official Ring number of the GT R could be even sweeter.

Note that the track configuration used for this battle is the Brige To Gantry layout, which means that, unlike in the case of the laps mentioned above, the main straight is missing.

The driver of the Zuffenhausen machine, which is the one who shared the adventure on YouTube, delivered his take on the shenanigan.

"Quick race on a half Nurburgring lap, he was on my rear from the beginning and I let him pass to see how this beautiful car works and yeah it works well! Lap time in 7.33 btg with big traffic and yellow flag at the beginning of the track,"

Now, before you head over to the "play" button, allow us to mention that the Neunelfer seen here packs a few mods, which might make it just as quick as the GT R on the Ring.

As for the traffic mentioned by the 911 driver, you'll notice that such a detail can make quite a difference.
