The famed Nürburgring has become one of the ultimate benchmarking tests in the automotive world. Manufacturers take their latest engineering feats to put them through the technical course’s paces. Chevrolet has yet to provide us with what the 2015 C7 Corvette Z06 is capable of around the ‘ring, but that may change soon.
The 2015 C7 Z06 was caught testing around the Nürburgring days ago, and it looks like the driver was gearing up for some hot laps around the course, as the testing occurred with company, including a new Audi R8.
The beautiful weather only added to how well the 2015 Z06 seemed to be performing, as the Corvette ripped through the technical corners, and blasted out onto the straightaways in all its LT4 V8 burbling glory. It seems the driver even got so caught up in pushing the 2015 Corvette Z06 that the turn signal was left on for a portion of the testing. Maybe it’s some sort of good-luck charm.
Previously, we were fooled by a fictitious report that the 2015 Z06 had run a sub-seven minute time, but we were quickly informed the time was indeed bogus.
Anyways, we await official numbers, and with this video as evidence, they may be forthcoming shortly. Watch the 2015 Z06 do its thing right down below.

My guess is a 7:20.31 lap time.
Seriously ? your kidding right ?
Its got to be in the low 7s to get any CRED. A 7:20 would suck.
I bet getting a fast lap time of 7:14.34
“blasted out onto the straightaways in all its LT1 V8”
Shouldn’t that be LT4 V8?
Nomad,
Indeed it should be. Thanks for catching that slip up! Fixed now.
Cheers,

Needs to be sub-7:10. I’m done hearing about how great the GTR is.
I am with you. Its going to be low 7s. You can take that to the BANK. We know for a FACT that the new Z06 is over 4 Sec on VIR which is like 1/6 the length of this track.
the c7 z06 has a lower top speed and much more drag than the c6 zr1
the ring is all about high speed. it probably wont beat the time of the zr1
and with these power loss problems that are being reported, by the time it gets to the back of the track (where high speed is needed the most), it would have run out of quite a bit of steam
cheap small cars already flying science fiction times. and every day new models to be still more rapid.
My recommendation is to make this trip as soon as possible. Before you are already late.
as already seen videos will be the new Audi R8
VAG konsern seat leon cupra r st kill VAG kontsern audi rs6 c7 .However, this must also be taken into account that in these times is very questionable. different conditions and different pilots. the same car can be a very different condition,
But still interesting and exciting. in fact, its meaning is the lap time, and it has become also manufacturers and enthusiasts understand. it has begun to talk more, and people can see and
hear the exact time journeys.
who was the pilot. the condition of the car and what were the conditions more.
but there is also fraud
renault megan rs 265 up the 8 min ahhaaa
and then ahhaaa. still had the desire to get down to eight UNDER 8 min ahhaa renault megan rs. and then caomes seat leon cupra and made 50 sec petter lap. new vw golf gti superspot and golf r420 comes soon to. i dont want to know what times they drive
it all depends on what the team is behind. if professionaI. and if it is taken seriously
