Porsche 911 GT3 is 10 seconds faster than Dodge Viper ACR

The Porsche 911 GT3 is the new king of the Nürburgring for cars with a manual transmission. It was 10 seconds faster than the previous fastest car, the Dodge Viper ACR.

The Dodge Viper ACR ruled the Nürburgring for eight years, with a lap time of 7:01.3. However, this lap time was set when the full lap (20 km) was not counted. The previous rules at the Nürburgring did not take into account the main straight to the finish line. On the shortened track, the Porsche 911 GT3, with almost 140 hp less, was 10 seconds faster than the Viper ACR, with a lap time of 6:51.764.

Behind the wheel was driver Jorg Bergmeister, who completed the 20 km course in 6:56.294. That’s impressive considering the new record is faster than the lap time of the previous 911 GT3, which used the PDK transmission.

The car was equipped with the optional Weissach package, which includes a range of ultra-lightweight components and carbon fiber parts, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires.

Dodge Challenger R/T Widebody by Liberty Walk

Japanese tuner Liberty Walk is known for some of the best body kits for cars, and this time they have introduced a Widebody kit for the Challenger R/T.

This dramatic Widebody kit includes fender flares that give the Challenger a muscular look, a front lip spoiler, and a rear spoiler inspired by the shape of a ducktail. The flares are much larger than the original Challenger Widebody.

Liberty Walk advises owners to install an air suspension, which allows the car to be lowered, to maximize the effect of the added components. There is also a new set of 20-inch wheels, which are 11 inches wider at the front and 12 inches wider at the rear, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires.
