I don't like this trend. These videos keep getting shorter.

Couldn't find much detail. Only this: "Helping to put all that power down are an extreme aero package and massive, sticky tires."

They used street tires from the GT2RS, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R.

Phew, my hands are sweating a bit. That was quite some drive. He sure dusted off some speed quickly to come down from over 300 km/h to a bit over 100.

Wider car, more aerodynamic down force available.

So refreshing to see a car video without the annoying music track playing in the background....would much rather hear the flat six in full song !

I so much agree. I had the ones with horrible “music” and not the sounds of the car. That car made nice noises. Hard to believe my 1985 911 has evolved and morphed into that speed demon.

Those straight line speeds are nuts, especially considering that the straights aren't straight at all.
they go left and right and up and down, and are pretty much blind in some areas.
