For perspective about what a fast time that is (understatement), the McLaren P1 was 7:04.

I think you can officially kiss any chance of a rear engine Porsche owning this record good bye forever.

p.s.
By the reaction of the 918 chief engineer, you can tell they were not completely convinced that a time like 6:57 was on the cards even if the models told them differently. Going quicker than ZR1, LFA, and Viper ACR by nearly 20 seconds and quicker than the rumored Macca P1 is a game-changer. And makes the 918 quiet the bargain compared to the British and Italian versions.
