Watch The Audi TT RS Give A Nissan GT-R A Serious Run For Its Money
It’s a tried and tested formula: want to prove a particular car is quick? Race it against a Nissan GT-R, and post the results on YouTube.
However, an Audi TT RS shouldn’t stand a chance against an R35 in a straight-line battle, should it? That’s what we thought, but it in this drag race from Top Gear, the pint-sized Audi initially gets the jump on the Nissan, and isn’t reeled in until much further down the runway.
The 3.26sec 0-60mph time clocked by the Nissan strikes us as a below-par performance for the V6-powered beast - for whatever reason, it just doesn’t look to have hooked up so well at the start. We don’t want to take anything away from the Audi’s mighty performance, though, and even with the GT-R more on-form, the little RS still wouldn’t have been far behind.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Audi: Killing GT-Rs since 2016
[DELETED]
Yet…… Audi has never beat them.
I guess the TT RS had the iOS 11 beta while the GTR had iOS 10 🤷♂️
*TT RS had Nougat while the GTR had Lollipop
[DELETED]
Yeah because the Audi is all mechanical….
IMHO the GT-R could’ve launched with more revs, tho I don’t know crap
Wait TTRS and GTR have tons of similarities. Fron engine, turbo, AWD, 2 doors, 4 seats, DCT… TTRS is basically a small GTR
I guess that one cylinder deficit is enough for the “Weight reduction, bro!” to kick in
The only difference is that the TT isn’t favoured by little 12 year olds

Finally some proof how overrated the R35 is.
Thank you
Lmao, yeah that car has been on the market since 2007, not that strange that other cars are getting faster 10 years later
And before people are going to point their finger at me, no I’m not a fanboy, but I’m getting sick by the GTR hate on CT.
I’d expect the YouTube comment section to be full of GT-R fanboys. Huge surprise, I was right.
Everyone is saying that Audi paid Top Gear for this lmao
I call Bullshit
#1- Launched with way too less revs
Audi advert anyone??
The GTR won afterwards, so no
Also Audi is known for making their performance stats lower on paper than they actually are on the real car
Also the GTR got beaten by many other cars such as the 991 GT3 RS, so yeah the GTR is a bit behind the competition now
