In the world of Nordschleife track records, there are plenty denominations that have led to titles being spread across the car industry. Production car, front-wheel drive, four-door, SUV - there's a Nürburgring record for every single section of motoring.

There's one record that stands proud of them all - a 6 minute 11 second lap by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 in 1983, a time that no one has come officially close to since.

The 956 was an endurance racing legend that dominated Le Mans in the early eighties, also providing a platform for the updated Porsche 962 to further Stuttgart's success. Being the first Group C car to successfully implement ground effects technology from F1, the 956 was the perfect tool to obliterate the coveted record.

Now however, AMG reckons its new Project One hypercar could tackle that record when it is finally developed into a fully functioning product next year.

Talking to Autocar, Tobias Moers (the boss of AMG) said that it's "reasonable to speculate" that the Project One hypercar would be targeting the all-time Nürburgring lap record set at the 1983 Nürburgring 1000km.

That 6:11 record was set in qualifying tune with the 956's twin turbo flat-six fettled up to its maximum horsepower rating, with Bellof also setting a 6:25 time in the car's racing tune.

Considering the production car record is currently held by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (6min 47sec), the Merc would be sending all past hypercars and supercars into the Dark Ages if it were to accomplish the all-time record. This statement must surely be based upon lap time simulations that the car's engineers have produced through plugging its proposed credentials into a computer programme.

One of those figures is the maximum downforce value which Moers has revealed will be around half the weight of the car, meaning it'll produce around 675kg of the stuff. That's without a large fixed rear wing like the new Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro and McLaren Senna GTR, relying on Venturi tunnels under the car and an LMP1-style shark fin protruding from the engine cover.

That amount of downforce combined with the mechanical grip and the 1000bhp+ F1 powertrain should make stealing the GT2 RS's record fairly easy, but Bellof's 956 record is in an entirely different stratosphere from the realms of production cars.

Also, that record was during a time when the track was getting worked on and it was slightly shorter than it is today. So technically the record can never be matched, if you're being a Nürburgring nerd.

Do you guys think the Project One could accomplish such a time? Or is that a huge overestimation and it will have a tough enough time taking on the Aston Martin Valkyrie? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
