Ferrari 599XX sets new record on the Nurburgring

The Ferrari 599XX is the first ever production-derived sports car to break the 7-minute barrier on the classic 20.832 km Nordschleife circuit, lapping in 6 min 58.16 sec. Watch a be amazed. For more Ferrari videos visit www.motor1.com/ferrari/videos/

My favorite part of the ring

[@IdleGod]

This guy is a pro. He nails the line on every corner. He handles the oversteer with ease. Great driver, great car. Kudos.

[@moriver3857]

Even in Gran Turismo, this track was difficult. Hard to memorize all the turns and not carry too much speed on the turns and holding the correct line. Awesome car, and awesome video.

[@TheTalemaster]

The driver was being cautious, so many turns, the Fox compression, Adenaur, etc. He was driving a very expensive car, was under contract to bring it home ;). Plus, this wasn't the Evo version of the car released later by Ferrari, with improved aero, a DRS system, better mechanical grip, etc. which would have smashed the 599XX record. I think all these cars, Zonda R, 599 Evo, etc. all fall short of their true potential because they are investments first and foremost...best way to see cars at the Nords limit is the racing series that the track hosts each year.

[@spartadongennasydesparta6518]

The zonda r run was flawless, I don't see it getting much better than that unless the driver have a death wish.

[@spartadongennasydesparta6518]

Also the 918 lap the driver was milking the living crap out of that car.

[@scottyo64]

GSA GT2 RS a street car my ass, have you driven one? It's a race car that happens to be street legal disguised as a 911

[@devinb3397]

scottyo64 it’s about as street legal as it gets? Sure it has a cage and stuff ect. But has aircon, cruise control, smooth gear shifts, electronics ect. Probably safer than most cars on the road. Sure you can’t get over large bumps and it would be hard on your ass to sit in for a long time, but it’s perfectly legal

[@GH-el9ch]

[@rpadilla99ish]

I did a 6:56 in this car on Nordschleife in Assetto Corsa tonight. I know it's not real life, but I still feel pretty proud of myself! No way I'd have the guts to drive that hard in real life on a track with no runoff.

[@FFE1TB]

Zonda R was faster because it is 20hp more powerful, 300kg lighter and, most importantly, the zonda lapped the ring in June, whereas the 599 did this in April, with colder temperatures :) Btw i love the Zonda r too

Great lap. This guy actually seemed to know the track quite well. His lines were spot on most the time and he did an excellent job on entry to a lot of turns that have very difficult ones to manage. But man what a bumpy track, he looked like a paint can in a mixer.

[@wackrapsatire]

Isaiah Israel the green hell...miss one bump at 200 and you´re done.

[@racer774]

Isaiah Israel You can easily tell this is a racing type chassis and suspension instead of a TRUE production, road legal car. I agree, he drove the track very well. Comparing this car's suspension action on the Nordschleife to a real road car, we can see a big difference of the road car's smoothness. The FXX, having a complete carbon fiber tub with an aluminum back half chassis = race car. I'm sure we won't see any of these (30 total) cars still drivable with 80,000 miles on them if anyone were silly enough to try. --- Haha! Great description!

[@macioz]

I think this and Zond R are the only ring fast lap videos I saw where the start and finish time are actually taken on the same line. If you watch 918, GT2, Huracan, Aventador etc. you see the finish time is taken on the white painted line that is visible just a few meters after the last corner, way before the time starting line (amount to about a 4 sec difference). On the white line this would have been a 6.54 (and 6.43 for the Zonda).

[@rocnred]

That was awesome. That is a great track. Great drive! I am jealous. I have raced it many times virtually and it is a tough track even when I am sitting on my couch.

I don't think the end of the straight, and those couple high speed turns are the most difficult part of the 'Ring by far.

[@gozinta82]

[@fabioserotti4267]

fantastic lap

[@toadamine]

Finally a "nurburgring Ferrari bitmap" video that lives up to its name. Nice driving, nice racecar.

[@jakubkrcma]

It is excellent. BUT the minimum speed through the Kesselchen corner at 3:22 is only less than 225 kph, where the LFA does 247 kph! Obviously, the 599XX with 730 PS kills the LFA (standard 560 PS, Nurburgring Package 571 PS) on the straights, but in the corners, the LFA is still extremely competitive (and road legal, unlike the 599XX). The LFA actually used OEM street tires while doing 7:14.64.

[@baujahr90er]

interesting fact... :)

[@12zaf1]

that shows that desimone was just cruising along, since 599xx with slick tyres potentially blows lfa around corners on any tyres.

[@jakubkrcma]

12zaf1 I seriously doubt that, despite the advanced aero tricks, such as the twin fans in the trunk, which evacuate air from the underbody diffuser panel of the 599XX. Both cars are approx. just as heavy, both highly advanced in every way, including aero. And he definitely wasn't just cruising. He was pushing very hard.

[@12zaf1]

you seriously doubt what? 599xx can withstand higher lateral g than lfa? it is just basic physics: assuming same fluid dynamics (not the case here) for ease, 599xx has over 100kg weight advantage (roughly 1500kg vs 1600). 599xx with slick tyres can withold close to 2g lateral probably, whereas lfa with road tyres more like 1.3g, with luck. that he was not pushing hard it is obvious from the vid. not sure if it was in purpose or desimone is not good enough (inspite of his racing past).

[@jakubkrcma]

12zaf1 The LFA Nurburgring is ~10-17 kg lighter and has about 30 % more downforce than the regular LFA, which has a curb weight of 1,480 kg (as stated at lexus.com), making the LFA Nurburgring's curb weight 1,463-1,470 kg. When you look at the extremely low weight of the engine, the dimensions of the car, and the special attention to low weight, 1,463-1,470 kg are REASONABLE figures. According to ferrari.com, the original 599 GTB (with a substantially bigger and heavier 6 liter engine) had a curb weight of 1,688 kg and a dry weight of 1,579 kg (a difference of 109 kg). The lighter 599 GTO (the road legal version of the 599XX) has a curb weight of 1,605 kg and a dry weight of 1,495 kg (a difference of 110 kg). Ferrari state the 599XX's dry weight at 1,345 kg, making the curb weight approximately 1,455 kg - only ~8-15 kg lighter than the LFA Nurburgring's. Also, I don't think the Ferrari 599XX, which is over 6 % (73 mm) taller than the LFA Nurburgring, can beat the ~440 mm centre of gravity height (36.4% of the car's LOW height) of the LFA Nurburgring. On slicks, despite the massive 159 PS delta, I think the LFA Nurburgring would get approximately to the middle between the 599XX's 6:58.16 and the LFA Nurburgring's 7:14.64, surely to less than 7:10.00. Another point is that the 599XX's fans stop working at 155 mph (249 km/h), because the car thinks it is going in a straight line at such speed and needs no extra downforce.

[@Mattes]

0 -> 30 -> 80 -> 90 -> 120 -> 150 -> 100 on the speedometer??? :O Where is the mistake?

[@n0stradam0s]

Low resolution .... Not 100 but 180 ...

man , you dont thhiking clear im afraid ...The speedo have 30kn/h steps , right before the mark you think its 100mph it marks 150kmh and right next its 210kmh , simple maths , whats in between them ? 100mph ? come on ...

[@Evil-La-Poopa]

tire and suspensions developement. give this 599xx the same modern tires and suspension from modern cars and the difference will be way smaller. also the time is bloody amazing, because the 599xx does not have a giant wing on the back like a modern GT2rs MR etc. So the 599xx with its big wing would probabaly rival even the modern records if its equipped with modern tires and suspension.@@DieselDave

its so cool to see two racetracks in one

[@woolverine253]

production? with cage inside?

[@Marek-gn9jn]

Why is there 100 on the tachometer, instead of 200? I mean, I noticed the same thing in Gran Turismo 5, but I thought it was graphics...

@aldilover*89. TRY IT BEING 180. Its just the font being messed up by the picture.

[@teiscogt]

perfect lap

[@TiasAhlgreN]

What was the previous record, and by who? Please answer if you know it.

[@Squan007]

@XRRoy68210 There are bumps in that corner.. Hold in the clutch + tires get airborne = jumps in Speedometer.

[@alexandersiebert4302]

Well done!

[@MundoTristeMx]

It's actually 60, 180, 300 and 360 KM/H! the ones written in bold. (check the lineas, theres just a problem with pixelation that makes it look like different numbers)

[@felpscars8628]

wahat ósea el velocímetro no se entiende como q va a 120 y en la parte de en medio q esta arriba dice 100

EPIC RUN

[@Cash2112]

Anyone know the difference between this 20.8 km configuration and the original 22.8 km length the last F1 race was held on in 1976?

[@barath4545]

Freeze video at 7:08. It's pretty much the same Nordschleife loop of 20.8km, and then instead of turning right at 7:08 in this video, you drive straight(you can see asphalt road under the barrier) and got onto what is today the GP F1 course Nurburgring. Back then it was basically a pit straight like today but longer and with a slight leftturn at the end into a long righthander(where one originally could turn onto the Südschleife "Southern loop") and then back up another straight running parallel to the pit straight "behind the pits" and then onto the Nordschleife loop again, at the 0:16 in this video on the left, where there is no red-white curb. You can see a lap from sort of above from the actual F1 race in 1975 here, v=CYeIieulC8U, where they leave the old pitstraights area at 2:50 and rejoin it at 9:22. That old pit part of the Ring don't exist anymore, it was destroyed/remodelled to make the current GP course they drive F1 on nowadays, sadly. If you time the footage it takes about 40-45 seconds to drive those 2km so Laudas 22.8km 6:58 pole from 1975 is approximately 6:13 - 6:18 on the 20.8km loop, or slightly slower than Bellofs 1983 956 pole time. The Sudschleife is also destroyed in drivable condition, though some parts exist as ruins or normal roads, just like old Spa today or old Monza Oval.

The only difference is that the "new" 20.8km track misses that 2km. This was only the loop through s/f line and back. Check here: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-nblo4PvfgfA/UcnXUS1B3hI/AAAAAAAAAIc/wObwwNntsSw/s1600/Nort+Sul.png
