Not much slower than the M4 and M3 CSL

Impressive, but the car that made the lap was striped almost on the Mk II Megane R26.R level. The 275 that they're going sell is not as light, but perhaps we see an ultralight ".R" before the new gen Megane debuts.

^ Yep, won't be nice in the UK without a rear windscreen wiper on a hatch....

Different driver, different time. Those times you quoted are Sportauto times and HvS only have one lap to go. Renault driver is doing lap after lap so he knows the car outside to inside. Seat had the previous record for FWD, less than 8 minutes but also not made by Sportauto.

Of course... but still ultra impressive for a FWD 275HP car
