With racing driver Maro Engel at the wheel, the F1-powered Mercedes trounced the Porsche by 7.82 seconds. The new record is particularly astounding given that the former leader was outfitted with a kit designed specifically for recording the quickest possible lap time at the famed track. The Mercedes, however, was not. The only alteration apparently received was slightly more wheel camber but within the maximum factory tolerance. In principle, a vehicle like the record-breaking AMG One may still be delivered.
