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.
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.

Seemingly, GT-Rs are no match for a lot of cars now. The R35 is almost like a benchmark-a lot of people’s videos pit R35s against a ton of stuff now!
probably what happened
Haha…..finally after a decade….the rest of the world finally comes up with ‘handbuilt’ supercars that beat the gtr half a car length…..at triple the price, half the weight and more power…..haha…the japs must be laughing themselves silly over this one…
cough cough Audi RS6 cough cough
GTR “fanboy” here….
Try this again with an R35 GTR Alpha Omega, and the results for the Audi will be disastrous:
0-60 mph in 1.72 seconds
Quarter mile in 6.93 seconds @ 196 mph
Top speed: 233 mph
Nothing can beat those stats.

OK guys also note that you are trying to compare a V10 to a V6…
It doesn’t matter. An R35 GTR Alpha Omega would rip that Audi to pieces. See my previous post.
What about against the nismo
Godzilla vs iron man.
