Porsche loves to set blistering Nürburgring lap times.

With a 7:09.3 lap time, it seems the 718's first-ever RS model took to the challenge like any other Porsche — quickly.

Manufacturers used to time their laps against a 12.8-mile configuration of the circuit, omitting the final 0.14 miles for “historical reasons.” More recently, Nürburgring officials have mandated that manufacturers use the complete length of the circuit for their official times.

Now, manufacturers simply release both — the 12.94 mile time for official bookkeeping, and the 12.8-mile time as a comparison against pre-mandate lap records.
