I was looking through lap times of different production cars, and there are some wildly out of place cars doing ring laptimes, some cars are faster than they seem they should be, while others are slower than they should be. Which got me thinking how some cars truly get tested in showroom condition, and others get the “marketing” treatment to produce a laptime a showroom car would never touch, solely to sell more cars. Then I found this article that talks exactly about just that.

99.99% of production cars wouldn’t be able to handle 10-15 laps
10 laps of the Nordschleife is over 200 km. I can’t think of any cars with big enough fuel tanks to go full send for 200 km. Most production cars will overheat their brakes and tyres after 1-2 laps of the ring anyways.
