The Dodge Viper ACR smashes the lap times of the Corvette ZR1 and the Nissan GT-R at the Nürburgring

Until now, the Corvette ZR1 had boasted of having been able to beat the time set by the Nissan GT-R on the German circuit, posting a spectacular 7 minutes, 26 seconds and 4 hundredths, which was supposed to secure the throne until we saw what would happen with the feared V-Spec version of the Japanese car.

Well, without any warning, a fellow American has snatched the top spot by improving the Green Hell lap time by more than 4 seconds. The Dodge Viper ACR, the latest and most extreme version of the sports car, managed to complete the circuit in 7 minutes, 22 seconds and one hundredth, leaving the ZR1 almost embarrassed.

This feat could be very useful for Chrysler to convince potential customers who have shown interest in the Viper that, once again, it has proven to be another of the great icons of the modern American industry. You can watch the lap video here courtesy of Motor Trend.
