# Watch the 630-HP Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Crush the Nurburgring in 7:25.41

Despite what some might think of Nürburgring lap times, Mercedes-AMG has gone ahead and made claim to a new production car record: 7:25.41 around the North Loop in a [four-door AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/19045/the-mercedes-amg-gt-4-door-coupe-is-a-track-monster-for-the-whole-family>), making it the fastest "fully-fledged four-seater" to lap the German race track.

No, it isn't as fast as [Jaguar's XE SV Project 8 that did it in 7:21.23](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/16494/watch-the-jaguar-xe-sv-project-8-break-the-production-sedan-nurburgring-record>) and holds onto the production sedan record, but the AMG did beat the [Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio's 7:32](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5141/watch-the-505-hp-alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-set-a-nurburgring-record>). So how is this a record, you may ask? Well, according to [*Motor1*](<https://www.motor1.com/news/273299/mercedes-amg-gt-claims-record/>), the company claims that the Project 8 Jag used in its record run had a roll cage in the back instead of rear seats, as confirmed by JLR's press release on the matter, and technically making that car a two-seater.

Here's the onboard footage of the mighty impressive run, if you're interested.

So we guess this really is the fastest car to lap the 'Ring with four seats...except the [Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE did it in 7:16.04](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/11764/2018-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-1le-posts-blazing-716-04-nurburgring-lap-time>) and seats four as well.

[Okay, we got it.](<https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/mobile/000/021/464/14608107_1180665285312703_1558693314_n.jpg>) The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door 63 S 4MATIC+ is the fastest four-door car to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife with its back seats intact.

Fine print, loopholes, and shenanigans aside, 7:25.41 is not a time to scoff at. To put it into perspective, AMG's own SLS Black Series track-slaying supercar performed the stunt in over 0.2 seconds *slower* than this thing. A Ferrari Enzo takes 7:25.21. What a time to be alive.
