The thing with rumors is that someone starts them, and then they spread around like wildfire, but you never really know if they’re based on reality, fantasy or lies. Today’s rumor is that the McLaren P1 completed a full lap of the Nürburgring in 6 minutes and 47 seconds.

From what we understand, the story originated from YouTube author swsthebest1994 who filmed the car and stated the following: “Today I recorded this McLaren P1 on the Nürburgring. Today the P1 did a record time on the Nürburgring of 6:47 minutes [Not official yet]!”

Given the lack of any information whatsoever to support the claim, we’re just going to leave it at what it is: a rumor, until we hear more, and let you watch the video of the P1 right past the break.

Before you do that, we’ll remind you that Porsche recently announced an official ‘Ring time of 6:57 for its hybrid supercar, the 918 Spyder.
