The<\/strong> N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife has long been considered a benchmark for car performance<\/strong>, especially for brands that care about precision, power<\/strong>, and legacy<\/strong>. In early 2025, two giants once again faced off: Porsche<\/strong> and Ford<\/strong>. Porsche started by setting a new record<\/strong> for the fastest manual-transmission production car, and Ford didn't lag behind, returning to the 'Ring and recording one of the fastest lap times in history.<\/span><\/p>

Porsche<\/strong> set the record with the 911 GT3<\/strong> with six-speed manual transmission<\/strong> and optional Weissach Package. It was led by Porsche ambassador J\u00f6rg Bergmeister<\/strong>, who completed the 20.832 km track in 6:56.294<\/strong>, beating the previous record by more than 9.5 seconds. Although the 510 hp<\/strong> flat-six engine remained unchanged, the GT3's new chassis<\/strong> setup and shorter gear ratio<\/strong> gave it sharper<\/strong> performance, and it was more confident in turns.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
