I am a little curious to see what they'd do to enhance it, but just by looking at it, the two changes seen here, the headlights and the deck placement of the exhaust, have me saying nein!No thanks

20 seconds faster than in Supertest 1/2004: Exclusively for sport auto, Porsche test and development driver Jörg Bergmeister drove a lap time on the Nordschleife in the Carrera GT with the newly developed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 N0. The result? An impressive lap time of 7:12.69 minutes. You can read the full story in sport auto issue 1/2025 and watch the complete video on the sport auto YouTube channel.
Really impressive. I expected around 10-14 seconds faster laptime. But not 20! Tyre progress does wonders. But still shows just how amazing and legendary the Carrera GT still is after two decades...

Also, how good is Jörg Bergmeister? This makes me want a re-test with him driving an actual production version of 918 on Cup 2 R.Really impressive. I expected around 10-14 seconds faster laptime. But not 20! Tyre progress does wonders. But still shows just how amazing and legendary the Carrera GT still is after two decades...
