As if we’re all going to race our cars at the Nurburgring race track, Porsche has followed in the footsteps of Nissan and Cadillac by announcing its 2009 911 Carrera’s lap times at a media event in Germany. The German sportscar maker timed three different 911 Carreras with the fastest being a Carrera S fitted with Porsche’s all-new double-clutch semi-automated transmission dubbed “PDK”, that turned the Ring in 7 min and 50 seconds.Second place went again to a 2009 911 Carrera S (apparently equipped with a manual gearbox) with a time of 7:58 min while third place went to an outgoing Carrera S (probably with a manual transmission for comparable reasons) that managed to lap the Nurburgring in 8:02 minutes. We remind you that the 2009 Nissan GT-R lapped the Ring in 7:29 min while Cadillac’s supercharged CTS-V, in 7:59 min.
