5:19.55 minutes. Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo takes record in the “Green Hell”

With 5 minutes and 19.55 seconds on the stopwatch #timobernhard (37, Germany) crossed the finish line of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife this morning at the wheel of the #Porsche #919hybridevo. With this achievement, the two-times Le Mans winner and reigning World Endurance Champion has beaten the lap #record on the revered 20.8 kilometre long German race circuit that stood for 35 years. On May 28 in 1983, Stefan Bellof lapped the world-renowned track with a #Porsche 956 C in a legendary time of 6:11.13 minutes.

The #Porsche #919hybridevo is a development of the Le Mans prototype with which #Porsche won the Le Mans 24-hour race in 2015, 2016 and 2017 as well as the FIA World Endurance Championship three times in a row – manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles respectively. 

A comprehensive press release with images, on-board video and quotes will follow later today.
