Toto Wolff is the head of Mercedes-AMG"s Formula 1 team. He"s steered them to five consecutive constructors" titles, and driver titles for Lewis Hamilton (4) and Nico Rosberg (1). Turns out, he"s a massive petrolhead in his own right. So much so, he wants to head to the N rburgring in a Porsche 911 and set a record lap time. Before we get to that, you need to understand the depth of the man"s car history, because it runs deep. Toto Wolff"s first ever car was a Volkswagen Beetle. "It had about 50 horsepower," he tells TopGear.com. "It was very reliable, and it never broke down, because it was too slow to break down". Indeed, Wolff had to break it himself in order to move up the ladder.
