In a remote area in Italy's boot, there's a giant 12.5-kilometer ring of sloped track owned by the Nard Dog himself, called the Nardo Ring. Setting that inexcusable "The Office" joke aside, the Nardo Ring is actually owned by Porsche and is used to test some of the fastest cars in the world, having been used to set a number of speed records over the years.

Notably, the Koenigsegg CCR set a speed record of 38787 km/hr in February 2005. But that wasn't the fastest ever set on the track, in 1979, the Mercedes Benz C1 hit 403.98 km/hr.

The Nardo Ring is a 12.5 kilometer (7.8 mile) long high-speed test track that is shaped as a perfect circle. Named after the nearby urban center of Nardò, the testing ring was built in 1975. While the current track is owned by Porsche, it was originally built by Fiat. Even with this changing of hands between manufacturers over the years, the impressive track has always been open to any manufacturer needing a place to test high-speeds.
