And it’s called Project One.
While some automakers have a soft spot for trying to claim lap records around
the challenging Nürburgring track in Germany, Mercedes-AMG through the voice
of its boss, Tobias Moers, sees things differently. In an interview with Road
and Track, the man in charge in Affalterbach admitted he does not like to
talk about lap times achieved with a car customers can purchase, adding:
尽管一些车厂在很有挑战性的德国纽博格林赛道试图创记录时表现出色,
但 M-AMG 通过其老板 Tobias Moers 的谈话表示了不同的看法。在接受采访时,
Affalterbach 负责人承认,他不喜欢谈论用客户购买的汽车实现的单圈时间,并补充道:
“And this makes a difference because if a car is able to run fast on the Nü
rburgring with Christian Gebhardt or someone else, then the car is easy to
drive.”
"这是有所差别的,因为如果一辆赛车在纽柏林赛道可以被 Christian Gebhardt 或其他人
开的很快,那么这辆赛车很容易驾驶。"
If you haven’t heard of Christian Gebhardt, he’s a journalist at German
magazine Sport Auto and he drove the Mercedes-AMG GT R at the ‘Ring towards
the end of 2016 to complete a lap in a blazing fast 7 minutes and 10.92
seconds.
如果您还没有听说过 Christian Gebhardt,他是德国杂志 Sport Auto的记者,
他在2016年底驾驶 M-AMG GT R 在环形赛中以7分10.92秒的成绩快速完成一圈。
Moers went on to mention it’s just not worth all this effort as he prefers
to have a performance car that can be fast on a multitude of tracks, not just
at the Nürburgring. Interestingly, AMG’s boss revealed Gebhardt’s
performance has since been improved by a pro racer, but he refused to reveal
his name and the lap time. Why? Because it’s more relevant for a potential
GT R customer to know a lap time achieved by a nonprofessional.
Moers 接着提到这种(刷纽柏林单圈时间的)努力不太值得,因为他更喜欢拥有一辆
可以在许多不同的赛道快速行驶的性能车,而不仅仅是在纽伯格林赛道。
有趣的是,AMG 的老板透露 Gebhardt 的表现已经由一名职业车手改进,
但他拒绝透露他的名字和单圈时间。 为什么?
因为对于一个潜在的 GT R 买家来说,知道非专业人员所达到的单圈时间更重要。
That being said, Moers hinted he would be willing to make an exception
regarding making lap times public: “Maybe Project One will be a different
story.” It’s perfectly understandable if you take into account that in a
previous statement made early this month in Geneva, Moers suggested the
F1-engined hypercar could actually claim the outright record around the ‘
Ring.
尽管如此,Moers 暗示他会愿意公开圈速时间的例外情况:
“也许 Project One 会是一个不同的故事。”
It’s about time considering the current record of 6 minutes and 11.13
seconds dates back to 1983 when Stefan Bellof got behind the wheel of a
Porsche 956 race car. As the saying goes, records are meant to be broken.
也差不多是时候来看看目前的纪录,6分11.13秒,可追溯到1983年,
当时是由 Stefan Bellof 驾驶 Porsche 956。 俗话说,记录是用来被打破的。
==============================================================================
看样子 Project One 这辆怪兽是很有可能会由官方去公布它创下的纽柏林成绩
要突破 Porsche 956的纪录可能有点不切实际
考虑到安全性的问题,现代的车跟车手很难接近这个纪录
而现在量产车的最快纪录是6分47.25秒 - Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991.2)
非量产/非可上路车辆的纪录是6分43.22秒 - McLaren P1 XP1 LM Prototype
就看 Project One 能把这两个纪录刷掉几秒了~
