Maserati MC12, new “King of the Ring”
I know we talked a lot this week about the Nurburgring race track due to the conflict between Porsche and Nissan, because the Japanese manufacturer says that its GT-R is fast enough to set a lap record of 7 minutes and 29 seconds while the German manufacturer says Nissan is not telling the truth. Well, enough about them: today was a big day and supercars such as the Ferrari Enzo, Koenigsegg CCX, Maserati MC12, Pagani Zonda F Clubsport and Porsche Carrera GT wanted to claim the title of the new “King of the Ring”.

I would like to see how the Gumpert Apollo and Ascari A10 do on the track.

The Ascari would be the one I would really like to see. BTW, didn't the ZR1 do it at 7.22?

This is some amazing ring time, man those guys/girls are really lucky to be able to test drive those supercars.

Yeah, I wonder why the ZR1 is not included in the race? And I can't wait to see the ring time spec for the up and coming Nissan GT-R V-Spec.

Finally, someone runs the ring with the Enzo and this car was how old. I know it's no where near the quickest time compared to Viper or ZR1 but I've always wondered what the Enzo could achieve around the ring. 7.25 for a six year old car is quite remarkable in my opinion, can't wait to see its successor.

not surprised by the enzo and carrera gt figures. they are quite the focus supercars. but i sure am surprised at how well the pagani did. i mean, its a seriously powerful car, but i thought it rather skittish. I would have expected it to be slightly ahead of the CCX.

From what I understand, the Pagani was always described as a pretty civil car to drive.

To this day it amazes me... the Maserati was a detuned version of the Enzo... yet it consistantly runs faster lap times. Can someone explain this? The Enzo is supposed to be a better car, but its not. Maybe the Maser handles the power better since there's less of it? Thoughts?
