Despite the fact that the Nurburgring Nurdschleife is pummeled into submission by some of the fastest and most powerful cars in the world, that doesn’t mean that these are the best ones to choose for a lap of the famed Green Hell.
However, for this purpose, there’s still nothing wrong with an older front-wheel drive hot hatch, and they don’t get much better than the Renault Clio 182.
The video posted below shows two mates battling it out, both at the wheel of very loud 182s. There is a chance that one is more powerful than the other, as these cars are very simple and highly tunable, or it could just be the difference in balls between the two, but the one that starts further back, burdened by the extra ballast of another (female) passenger manages to sneak ahead and stay there until the lap’s end.
Scroll down and have a peek.
