Chevrolet has done it again! They have taken their Camaro and broken the record for the fastest lap time ever recorded on the famous Nurburgring race track in Germany. The Camaro was the first production car to break the seven-minute barrier, with a time of 6 minutes, 59.77 seconds. This record has been held since 2013 by the Porsche 918 Spyder. This incredible achievement is testament to the power, engineering and technology that Chevrolet has put into the Camaro.
The Nurburgring is considered the ultimate test for any car, as it has some of the most challenging corners and sections of track in the world.

The Camaro’s record-breaking lap was completed in June of 2023, and was driven by professional racing driver, Tommy Milner.
The Camaro was designed from the ground up to be a track-focused machine, with a powerful V8 engine, lightweight chassis and aerodynamic body. The car has been extensively tested and tweaked to ensure it can handle the rigors of a race track, and it certainly showed on the Nurburgring. The Camaro was able to take full advantage of its powerful engine, lightweight design and aerodynamic body to post a time that is almost impossible to beat.
