Nürburgring Nordschleife records are falling frequently in 2026. For example, the Xiaomi YU7 GT electric SUV became the first vehicle to set a driverless lap around the course, and the Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 became the quickest front-wheel-drive machine to lap the circuit. In addition, Manthey Racing proved that a less-powerful car could be extremely impressive by beating the Ford Mustang GTD, despite the modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS having a 300-horsepower deficit compared to the Mustang.
