The old 991 turbo which is now almost 10 years old did 1:50.00.

The slowest Carrera is not the Carrera S. That would be the base Carrera.
Which still isn't a competitor to the M8.

The Panamera is roughly the same weight as the M8, and the only version that has run on the same track with the same driver, albeit on a different day, was a full seven seconds slower that the M8. Granted it was the Panamera GTS, but I don't see any Panamera beating the M8 Competition at Hockenheim GP by a wide margin.
