Is The Mercedes-AMG GT R Quicker Than A Nissan GT-R?
These two cars may almost share the same name, but they’re conceptually rather different. The Nissan has an all-wheel drive system, whereas the Mercedes powers the rear wheels exclusively. The former car has a V6 while the latter opts for a V8, and, err, one has a hyphen in the name and the other doesn’t.
But which is quicker? The Japanese car should easily grasp victory in a standing start race given that it supposedly does 0-62mph in three seconds dead - 0.6sec quicker than the official time for the AMG - but we all know how optimistic the GT hyphen R benchmark acceleration figure is.
Plus, on the rolling start race that comes up next in this Car Wow test, the Nissan’s all-wheel drive system is less of a factor, and the braking test - well, that’s anyone’s guess.
Place your bets, then press play.

I’d still take the AMG. The AMG is a better car
0.1 sec difference? Imagine if the Nissan GTR is made a bit lighter. The Lotus cup treatment : it would be unbeatable!
Or took the Nismo…
I AM T R I G G E R E D, but in all seriousness, the gtr cannot always beat everything
The Nissan GTR is already 10 years old, that is one of its main issues. It is still quick, but I would take the Mercedes also because it doesn’t have so much toxicity in it’s fanbase.
Nissan GTR Fanboys be like.. NO
No actually. They both are very close and you gotta keep in mind that the amg gtr is the nismo of the amg gtr family. Given how close it is to the ‘’base’’ Nissan, i think 15hp more would give the win to the nismo
Nissan gtr is a great car undoubtedly but for the fanboys its losing its reputation,and nissan is to be blamed for this(why would they still make a car thats 10year old).But what people doesnt understand is that there is still room for JDM in the competition and that a handful of proper jdm cars cars exist(including the gtr)
I guess someone bought a faster pc
Don’t get confused one is GT R the other is GT hyphen R
For a car that is 10 years old in terms of developing it, it holds up very good. And remember that the car was built for cornering it is good at high speed. But the weight shows
Japanese engineering vs German engineering. Yeah!
