Elon Musk claimed in a tweet that the roadster can beat a time of 6:44 min on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which is (currently) 20.832 km long.
The current lap record for street legal cars is 6:40 set by a Porsche GT2RS MR.
The overall record is 5:19.55 set by a Porsche 919 Evo.
F1 last raced the Nordschleife in the 70s. The lap record is 7:06.4, but the track was 22.835 km long back then.
The Roadster might have a chance at beating the lap record for street-legal cars, but physic will make sure that it will not come even close to an overall lap record.
- grecy 7y agoDon't forget the 2020 roadster will actually have rocket boosters. (Elon has given his word on this more than once)
- Hamuko 7y agoElon also gave me his word that Vernon Unsworth is a peadophile, so maybe not.
- Jamwinner 7y agoBased on what we know of physics, weight, and grip, elon is, as usual, full of it.
