Watch: 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Chases Nurburgring Record

The 991.2 GT2 RS test cars have been blitzing the Green Hell for one year now and the supercars are currently being pushed to the absolute limit on the track.

Thanks to the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, you can check out more than one example of the 700 horsepower Neunelfer doing its thing on the Ring.

Keep in mind that we're talking about a machine costing about twice as much than the 2018 911 GT3, with the latter being able to go round the infamous German circuit in 7:12.7.

As such, we're expecting King Kong (the German automaker wants us to call the rear-wheel-drive special by this nickname) to set a new production car lap record.

Nowadays, Ring times are more important than ever and, despite automakers like Porsche stating that such accolades are no longer a priority, they still pursue amazing chronograph numbers.

In fact, Porsche's strategy for the new GT2 RS is now keeping aficionados on their toes months after the official unveiling of the track-biased animal.

Even though the 991.2 range-topper was presented back in June at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the carmaker is still tight-lipped when it comes to its Ring number.

Who knows? Perhaps Porsche is waiting for Affalterbach's move, with the two currently being involved in a more or less official Nurburgring war.

While the 7:10 Mercedes-AMG GT R is currently the bravest soldier of this Nordschleife battle, Mercedes-AMG was recently spied testing an even spicier incarnation of its supercar.

And regardless of where the prototype will become the GT Black Series or the street version of the GT4 racecar, we can't wait to see whether it can beat the GT2 RS around the Ring or not.
