No..not really.  In North America, it was available only in "kit" form.  Even according to their web-site, only 25 SR8 have been made....

The Radical SR8 did it in 6:55 and it has 360 hp and weighs around 1400 lbs.

Double the hp, add a lot more downforce, more favourable gearing, and a 5.XX something could be doable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife_fastest_lap_times

According to F1 Racing magazine of June 2006, BMW engineers had estimated that a BMW-Sauber F1.06 could lap in under 5:15.8[51] which equals to an average of 237 km/h (147 mph).

Production cars would get absolutely decimated :D

So maybe they should go out and do it with a current car
Then we would have the great fun over a few years of watching production cars slowly creep up to that record.
They'd have 6:58 to beat according to that wiki you posted. In fact I'll look out for production cars to get close to 7:00 from now on.

Who cares about America, it's not an American track record.  :P

Even on road tyres it should post a pretty qick time. ah good old wikipedia...

"The standard SR8 currently holds the lap record (6 minutes, 55 seconds) for road legal cars at the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit."  So it's road legal, but 25 doesn't make it a production car.  Hmmmm, what about RUF, are they low volume production cars?  Sorry for hijacking.

One of these (Radical) used to drive around the roads near me, can't say I envied the ride quality...
