Watch A Honda NSX Destroy A Nissan GT-R In Two Drag Races
Really, this drag race should be very, very close. Both of these Japanese supercars are similarly porky, and in terms of power, there’s very little in it - the Nissan makes 562bhp, and the Honda 571bhp.
But, the Honda has a trick up its sleeve: a trio of electric motors - two for the front axle, and one attached to the 3.5-litre V6’s crankshaft to perform a torque-fill function. In other words: bye bye turbo lag.
It’s thanks to this setup that the NSX hooks up tremendously well off the line, and does so consistently. During the standing-start race and the rolling-start run, it has no trouble beating the GT-R, and by a huge margin.
Still, the front-engined Nissan certainly wins on value - its mid-engined compatriot costs nearly twice as much…
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.

take that, fanboys!
People who think that GT-R is fast in drag races 😂 it’s only fast on paper
While the video in the post is unavailable you can watch a less powerful, RWD Porsche destroy the GT-R:

That computer wasn’t overclocked… that’s why it lost. With proper latency settings, voltage and cooling, it would’ve easily beaten the NSX. 😛
it says the video isn’t available ._.
So will the 10-12 year old GT-R fanboys convert to NSX fanboys?? I laughed at the result
Tbh it was high time…
Please stop 😂
Wow! The car released in 2015 beat the car released in 2007!
Thing is maybe it the GTR was very fast when it first came out, but then it became like the supra, they were almost always modified and we started to think it as standard when in reality when it’s factory spec it’s hasn’t been that fast for a long time.
V-TEC kicked in yo!
