It is amazing drivers car. But is also aided quite well by some of stickiest R compound tires on the market.
No, Porsche claimed new 911 S will do 7:30 at the ring and SportAuto did 7:34 (or 2s slower than 991 GT3 in similar SportAuto test which Porsche claimed will do 7:25 (no videos to back that time).
