Watch A Honda NSX Destroy A Nissan GT-R In Two Drag Races
A drag race between the second-generation NSX and a GT-R should be close, but these two straight-line battles from Car Wow go a different way...
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…

take that, fanboys!
Boo yah!
I can image they will say”it only took 10 years”
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:

In order for a GTR to achieve it’s best time you need to have a 20° slope, warm out engine… NSX needs a straight line.
Track ready 911 vs. 10 yo Nissan GT-R. Sounds fair to me.
That computer wasn’t overclocked… that’s why it lost. With proper latency settings, voltage and cooling, it would’ve easily beaten the NSX. 😛
😂😂

No, Nissan should replace their Intel Core 2 Quad + Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX system to an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X + Nvidia GTX Titan V one.
Lol
The nsx was running at 5.5ghz and had a water cooling system
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!
*the car on sale in 2018 beat a car that is also on sale in 2018
The fact that it takes 20 years for Nissan to come up with R36 doesn’t excuse them
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!
