Appreciate the left foot braking! And the whole video layout.

No music, no flashy drone footage, this is how you do a track video! Take this thing to Bathurst next, or Laguna Seca..

[joebaker]

The lack of a roaring engine some how makes this more visceral as its just that brutal acceleration and road sounds. Wow. Just wow. That driver has laser focus to survive that and get that car around like that. Mind blown.

Finally a video of a lap of the Nordschleife which is not too long to watch.

When it looks astoundingly fast on video.... you know performance like that would melt your brain and batter your body in real life. Kudos to the driver. Amazing! 👏 👏

[samuelhopely]

Unreal bravery, well over 2 G's in corners, insanely high speed and insane acceleration, that was gut wrenching. Our future is in pretty good hands.

[manuel-xax]

Hats off, Dirk Müller !
As many said already, in various ways : this looked like an incredibly fast lap.
So close to unreal, in fact !
Thanks for "raw" footage and sound, it helps realise that this video isn't played faster than it was filmed.

[PoRRasturvaT]

300 through foxhole, 270 at the compression.
Absolute madness.

[Schneeerich]

This looks fast as hell. Unimagineable that Porsche did the lap one minute faster.

[joserosales]

The acceleration out of the turns is absolutely insane

[gery]

Really amazing achievment !! Pure madness on G's when accelerating !

[quinjesuis]

Wow, absolutely beyond phenomenal, mind blowing awesome, loved every second of it, got a little crazy a few times but the platinum driver was extraordinary, thank you so so so much, that was a beyond fabulous gift; sharing this sublime drive on one of the most beyond challenging road course in the world, I absolutely loved the sound of just the wind and tires screaming through the air, this hypercar is for me the beyond ultimate hypercar in the world, it's a masterpiece of art and engineering 🔥🔥🔥

[lee]

Not an electric car fan. But this is scary as fuck and very impressive.

[offroadadventures]

I have to wonder just how much faster you could possibly drive the ring. The acceleration on this car is pure nuts and the speed he carried thru many of those corners was gut churning

[michigancarsandtech]

Wow! That was amazing to watch! Kudos to the driver!🔥🔥🔥

[Paladasch]

We are getting closer and closer to a real life SRT Tomahawk X. Insane how fast this car goes around the ring.

[dehmoreira]

Insane, I felt like I was inside the car... even the sensation of speed scared me!

[EvoSGooD]

This so absurd the video looks sped up. Yes is 💯 real. Hats off to the engineers on this beautiful build.

[Viscous_Flow]

Lotus are absolutely cracked at what they do. Great stuff

[TandemSKITTLEZ]

Knows the track well 👌 driven this track like it was his backyard 😂
