Watch A New Audi RS 6 Avant Pulverise A Nissan GT-R In A Drag Race

On paper the GT-R should take the win easily, but the result when Carfection races Godzilla against the new RS 6 is so one-sided that you'd imagine that the Nissan had a fault...

You know the drill: it’s yet another ‘is car X faster than a Nissan GT-R?’ video. This time it’s the turn of Carfection to pit the much-loved, much-hated Japanese legend against something they bought along for the ride; the channel’s RS 6 Avant crew car.

It’s twin-turbo V8 and dog-carrying practicality versus twin-turbo V6 and Internet stardom. It’s not as close as you’d think, though, and without wanting to spoil all the delicious excitement for you, the GT-R just doesn’t seem quite on form, to us. Have a look and let us know what you think.

This can’t be real. Either the driver of the GTR was bad, the car had fault, the RS6 was modded or it’s fake

Triggered GTR fanboy

I’m guessing it’s due to it being damp. The GTR spins in first where as the C7 just hooks up no matter what.

The R35 is outdated

Remember when the EVO IX Wagon spanked the RS6 around a track a few years ago. Does that mean the old Evo IX Wagon is faster than the GTR too?

That is the new rs6

But how

Next time, turn on race mode maybe?

And yet, in this test the GTR gaps the RS6 quite handily.

Something is definitely off in the original video.

That’s so cool

I smell a lot of bullshit in this video, but anyway if this audi is as fast in the video, giving the huge distance to the GTR, then there is no problem that will beat 911 Turbo S too.
Waiting to see that…
