Koenigsegg target the Nurburgring lap record

If an exotic car maker is looking to break a record there is nothing better than the Nürburgring lap times. Things are getting intense between automakers as they are refining their cars as much as possible and now it’s all about who makes the fastest street-legal production car and now another exotic automaker is joining into the record setting race.

The Radical SR8 isn’t exactly street-legal, so the fastest time lap is currently set by the Porsche 918 Spyder at 6:57. McLaren claims the P1 managed to get to the 7 minute mark but the exact figures haven't yet been published. Koenigsegg says it can throw them both off the records.
