Prior was pleased Porsche bosses didn't disclose the 911 S/T’s Nürburgring lap time

I was pleased to hear Porsche GT line boss Andreas Preuninger say he didn’t know the new Porsche 911 S/T’s Nürburgring lap time . That doesn’t mean nobody knows; a Porsche engineer confided in a colleague that they did time the S/T during testing, but they still wouldn’t say what it was. Good. Preuninger’s point remains. Times aren’t relevant to the S/T’s ethos. It’s a road car meant for drivers.

Those changes happened in just a fraction of a day on a very short circuit. Then consider the Nürburgring, with days, weeks or months between competing lap times. Volkswagen test driver Benjamin Leuchter once found he was eight seconds slower in a Golf GTI Clubsport there than he had expected to be because of the conditions.
