The Nissan GT-R Is No Match For An Audi R8 V10 Plus In A Straight Line
A few weeks ago, a video showing a Nissan GT-R getting a bit of a drubbing at the hands of an Audi RS6 appeared. Much Internet rage and accusations of fakery followed, but we weren’t all that surprised. Although the GT-R in question didn’t seem quite on form to us, the Nissan’s acceleration figures have always been hard to replicate in the real world, whereas Audi is often quite conservative with its 0-62mph times. Oh, and the RS6 is stupidly quick for a massive estate car.
The guys over at Cars.co.za have cooked up another GT-R vs Audi showdown, this time a more straightforward battle involving an R8 V10 Plus. Again, the Audi wins the day. The GT-R may be quicker on paper, and indeed beats the R8 off the line, but the lighter, more powerful Audi breezes past in the end.

Oh gosh, maybe its time to get a German computer, because you know, the Germans make the good stuff
This doesn’t have nearly as many comments as normal CT posts. The GTR fanboy kids are quiet as yet again, the GTR gets overtaken by another car.
TurboToddler (Straight-five) LuukLugti(Peugeot 106) (lamb) Only thing I see here: GTR haters talking about fanboys who don’t show up..
They don’t show up because they’re almost extinct at this point. The problem with Car Throttle today is that most members are hipsters who start hating on anything that becomes mainstream, even if they previously glorified it all the time.
Exactly, The GTR is probably one of the most loved cars, but at the same time one of the most hated😂
From the comments I only have to say this: GTR hating has become as annoying as GTR worshiping.
not in my eyes at least
Waiting for “add a tune and an AMS kit to the GTR and this Audi will loose !”
The GTRs party piece is no longer it’s acceleration. All major manufacturers now of supercars can replicate close to 3 second 0-60 times. The platform is tired, and it will be until the R36 before that is changed. The R36 ought to be a beast.
HOWEVER, it’s launch control system is still second to none vs its competitors - most of these kinds of videos show that, as James May said, “nothing in the world gets off the line as fast as a GTR. You know that”. I’ve never driven a GTR, but the mechanics of it still fascinate me.
Gaskings should have bought an audi
GTR wins on the track with corners still.
But the new gtr hasnt done the nurburgring while the r8 has
No suprise. This car is 10 years old
The gtr is is still better than the audi r8 as the price of the gtr is £80000 brand new and the price of a r8 is like £135000 brand new so theres like £55000 drifference and with that money i can tune the gtr engine and then it will destroy the r8
Difference
Here we see a person from a very common specie, GT-R Fanboynism.
