The Road Car That Broke 8 Minutes — With Röhrl at the Wheel

In 1999, Walter Röhrl took the first Porsche 911 GT3 around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:56.33. This is how a road-legal 996 GT3 helped redefine what a production sports car could do. This is the story of Röhrl’s return to the spotlight, Porsche’s groundbreaking GT3, and the lap that changed expectations for high-performance road cars forever. #WalterRöhrl #Porsche911GT3 #Nürburgring #Nordschleife #Porsche #Motorsport
