Another GT-R versuses Luxury Sport Super-Car Video
Well, today is just a good day for videos of the GTR smoking super expensive European supercars, if you ask me. First we got it out dueling the Bentley Continental, and now here's a great video from Germany pitting its home-country superhero the 5.2L Lambourghini V10 Supercharged R8 versus the good ole' Nissan GTR. Well, the Audi R8 is an absolute machine with class and precision, but really, the results here should surprise no one. The GT-R's dominance just can not be questioned. A fun video (subtitled in English) and worth a watch!
Bentley Vs. Nissan
MotorTrend recently put the Nissan GT-R R35 up against a Bentley Continental Supersport. At first thought, this sounds like a ridiculous competition: the Godzilla super car versus a leather-wrapped luxury automobile, but upon further inspection the two vehicles are very evenly matched. Honestly, the Bentley puts up a great fight against the R35 as well, and is absolutely worth a watch, the end may even surprise some people.
FIA GT1-Spec Nissan GT-R
Some news has been coming out recently about the 2010 racing year for the Nissan GT-R. Some changes are being made, and they're interesting ones to say the least. For GT1 the GT-R wont be powered by its standard turbo V6, but instead by a naturally aspirated V8 producing 600HP and 480 LBs/Torque. To increase just how much power that is, the vehicle has also been lightened down to a curb weight of 2,756 lbs. They achieved this lightened weight with a stripped out-interior and the use of a carbon fiber aerodynamics. The FIA GT1-spec GT-R also gets 18-inch RAYS wheels and carbon ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers, to help bring that beast to a quick stop when necessary. In all, it sounds and looks like an absolutely awesome vehicle, and we'll see how it fairs starting April 17th with the first race of the season in the UAE. The GT-R will be up against Porsches, Corvettes, Lambos, Ferraris, and every other super performance car worth mentioning, and may have the credentials to beat them all.

911 PDK v. R8 V10 v. GT-R
Here we go again: someone else is putting up new competitors against the Nissan GT-R. We've seen this repeatedly since the Nissan GT-R R35 was unveiled, and it is not news to any of us that the GT-R keeps winning. Well, this time the competition has been upped as we see the GT-R coming up against two absolutely incredible European monsters in the form of the Audi R8 V10 and the Porsche 911 Turbo PDK. Couple this with the fact that we're seeing the comparison of the 3 vehicles as driven by 1 driver, on the same circuit course, on the same day, and it makes the results and their fairness particularly intriguing!
Definitely worth a watch as the guys at AutoCar UK did a great job on this side by side. I wont divulge the outcome, but I will say this: the GT-R is repeatedly classified as the super car benchmark by which all others are measured, and we all know how true that is.
Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. And, seriously, are they just going to keep bringing new challengers up to fight Godzilla? If so, I'm fairly certain we'll keep seeing the challengers get knocked-out, because this heavyweight champion of the world will be holding its title belt for quiet some time to come!
GT-R R35 Drag Time Videos
Found this set of videos on YouTube and had a lot of fun watching them all. These were some of my favorites from the group involving the GT-R. There's also a very common thread here, as it beats most every other vehicle that it comes up against. Enjoy these and watch some more if you're curious!
