What is the Nürburgring lap time of the Porsche 919 Evo?

The Porsche 919 Evo’s Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time was 5:19.55.

On 29 June 2018, Porsche works driver Timo Bernhard drove the unrestricted 919 Hybrid Evo around the 20.832-kilometre Nordschleife in 5 minutes 19.546 seconds. That time is commonly rounded and reported as 5:19.55, making the stored answer the standard quiz-friendly form.

The 919 Evo was not an ordinary road car or even a regulation-limited World Endurance Championship racer. Porsche removed many racing restrictions from the retired 919 Hybrid, allowing more aerodynamic downforce, greater performance and a lower weight. The result was a purpose-built demonstration machine for the 919 Tribute Tour.

Bernhard’s run broke Stefan Bellof’s long-standing 1983 Nordschleife record of 6:11.13 by more than 50 seconds. Because the Evo was a non-road-legal prototype, its time is usually listed separately from production-car records.
