Tuned Mini JCW equals Pagani, Lamborghini and Porsche’s Nurburgring lap time

Mini JCW sets fastest Nurburgring lap time

Setting the fastest lap time around the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife is considered to be a big thing in the automotive world. More than anything, it earns manufacturers bragging rights and who wouldn’t want to feel smug. Renault recently set the fastest time for a front-wheel drive car on the “Ring”. Renault Megane 275 Trophy R lapped the circuit in 7 min 54 sec. Now, a heavily modified Mini John Cooper Works has just beaten the Megane’s time. It completed the lap in 7 min 44 sec.

What’s even more astonishing is the fact that, the tuned Mini JCW equals the lap times of a Pagani C12 S, Lamborghini Murcielage, Porsche 911 GT2, Ford GT and an Audi R8 V10 with a nominal difference of a tenth or so. That’s some feat and a lot to brag about.
