Any sports car with 4 seats is a lie, unless you have no legs. Im pretty sure you save on insurance though (cuz its not considered a pure sports car i think)

Seriously Bro? If a person can afford a car for over $100k, then he or she probably isn't in financial difficulty. I would spend more and get the better car (the R8).

In a sports car I wouldn't even bother with a 4 seater! Get a sedan if you want a 4 seater. Cause if you're over 5'7 you'll fit cramped. That's from my experience to be clear.

Seriously Bro? I agree.

Alexander Cecile I own a R35 and i can fit my kids in the back no problem even slim adult can fit back you just have to move the front seat up a little. Those rear seats are definitely not designed to support fat american asses, however it works well for children and a lot roomier than a 911 rear seats.

Rudra

I agree but the auti is a more known brand and if any one who s about cars a good sports car is not how big the engine is it depends on the turbo or the weight of the car and other things so I give props to you for realizing it is not just about the brand of the car it's the performance too

viperkiller55pk Oh yeah Auti makes good cars. I wonder why they are Portugese. Do you know? I don't. Auti is good for their 0.2L 1 cylinder, that puts down 12 hp! Can you believe that?!?! Those brakes are as big as a dime. But they can't compete with Audi though...

I agree but I think they should be admiring the engineering achievement's of the car 0-100kph in 2.7! that's insane. the special nerling on the rims of the gtr to stop the wheels coming off because of its cornering speeds, twin turbo v6 in the gtr has been rumoured to produce up to 610hp in some stock gtr's because they are hand built and hand tuned, value for money? id buy that gtr.

Dude I totally agree with you. They keep bashing the car because it's a perfect driving machine. To achieve one, you must give up another. .. Plus I've seen videos where the gtr be doing 360s and throwing its back (when real pros drive it). I honestly liked the r34 better when it comes to look, style and the way it drives and sound but I still respect the superior engineering the gtr have. I don't think the car is ugly. I think it's face is just featureless but the r8 is ugly and I love the A models in the audis

Airman2B yup, personally I think the GTR is the dumbest car ever and how could you not choose a v10 German machine How can you not choose the r8

money and performance wise nissan gtr luxury wise but twice the price audi r8 me i go for the performance

+amr ahmed I just think the GTR is a bit... ugly. If I bought one of these cars I would choose the better looking more luxurious car because it's not like I'm going to be racing these cars, I wouldn't really care about an extra couple seconds on a track.

Not So Cool Dude for the same price of audi if you aim for luxurious car you have Mercedes-Maybach S600 or AMG S63 Coupe but if you want performance better than both audi and nissan and luxury you have porsche 911 turbo or turbo s

And yet most people don't realize that. They are two different cars, for two different types of people.

MrGovenator1 YES, thank you, all the arguing in the comments is absurd.

Antoine Marty Agreed, down here!

While the amount of cylinders and displacement makes a difference, so does the amount of torque and the speed of the transmission, which is why the GTR is faster.

don't forget about those TURBOS!!!

In the end, GTR is just a 2 door Nissan that ya'll are being finger banged 24/7 while the R8 is a German-Italian masterpiece that earns respect in Beverly Hills. Think about it huh. Not hating on the GTR, I like it, I just don't like people like you who think the GTR is better than anything and disrespect other cars. So yeah, disrespect only deserves disrespect.

well a drag 1969 Mustang 5.0L V6 Got 4000hp+

Alexander Forsanker Obviously we're talking about stock cars.

0-60, better handling etc

Swoggify but you see swoggify. Your never actually going to need to do 0-60 or care about handling in everyday driving. The GTR is more for track day specials and being fast. It doesn't care about the driver. Where as the R8 V10 PLUS is still VERY fast but it cares about the driver. It has a nicer interior and a nicer ride. Plus it looks better and is more fun to drive.

They said in the video that the R8 doesnt like to go fast tho.. so whats the point of buying one of those supercars

Swoggify The R8 does go fast compared to many other supercars such as the porsche 911 or the lamborghini reventon. Whats the point of buying a GTR anyway?

I would take a GTR over just about any car other than the Porsche 918

I agree. I would like to see an R8 performance edition that looks similar to the R8LMS though. That car is aesthetically wonderful.

Wait are you the of chiefs qb or just another alex smith

Jose Espinoza Hrmm?

Jose Espinoza Yeah what?

A gtr r35 would make super cars wet there pants.

cough cough japanese V6 does 2.7 sec from 0 to 60 mph cough cough and sounds better cough cough

THE MLG I did say the GT-R (I presume, that's the "japanese V6" you're talking about is) accelerates faster. The VR36DETT however isn't as nice sounding as either the 5.2 FSI V10 in the R8 or even the 2.5 TFSI Straight-5 in the RS3 and TT-RS.

ShadowFalcon it sounds like KILLAH

THE MLG It sounds like a muffled Nissan Sunny. Or at least, that's what it sounds like through stock exhaust pipes. How it sounds through other exhausts I can only speculate on.

ShadowFalcon it sounds good with straight pipe gives a eargasm

you realise in the GTR, there is no 'girlfreind' it looks ugly as hell look at the new r8 competition man. the sound and how it looks is pure sex.

jesus bannanahammock That's a matter of opinion. Nothing will beat Godzilla and I personally think the R8 looks like a cockroach with fungus growing out the front. The only thing I respect more than Godzilla is FD3S.

jesus bannanahammock The girlfriend can stay at home whilst I take the GTR to the track! Although it seems the R8 would be more fun in the sideways department.

I Ren Nothing will beat it at what? There are plenty of cars out there that are faster.?

***** True, true, but I like Godzilla more than any other car. Besides, what advantages other cars have, quality aftermarket will surely make sort work of the gap ... (^_^) Love makes you blind doesn't it?

+Owen Clifford (thetruebanana) note that the Nissan they used is almost half the price of the Audi R8. the GTR Nismo is 150k and even better than this version (upping to 600 hp) while still being cheaper than the R8

+lithium2000 yes I agree I love the nismo to death and I feel that when it comes to speed the Nissan will almost always be the king. But if you are going to choose one to buy the r8 would be better

+lithium2000 ? they are the same price lmao

jrsmoothman2 The cars compared are 116k vs. 189k. 62% difference

lithium2000 O wow, didn't know that. Looking forward to the R8 2017. This GTR is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

+MrMarkpark I also think that with that engine it should've had much more torque, at least!!

+MrMarkpark It's naturally aspirated though. Lots of room for improvement with that kind of engine.

jojajo2707 why not?

+MrMarkpark That's to be expected from a high revving N/A v10. But if you break it down it's actually not unimpressive. At 600lb/ft the current Vipers V10 has the most torque of any naturally aspirated production engine ever but it requires 8.4 liters to do so, giving it a torque per liter rating of 71lb/ft per liter. The R8s FSI 5.0 V10 makes around 376lb/ft giving it a ratio of 75lb/ft per liter. So the Audi is actually able to make more specific peak torque than the torquiest production engine yet.

+Ethanmeister Shelby 350.... 5.2L V8..... 429 torque (82 lb/ft per liter)Porsche 911 GT3 .... 3.8.... 324 torque (85 lb/ft per liter)Ferrari 458... 4.5L V8... 398 torque (88 lb/ft per liter)yeah.... not that impressive

Motor trend does have a GTR vs 911 Turbo S video I saw it in the related videos haven't watched it yet though.

I said professional racing drivers. 6 year old GTR fanboys on KZfaq don't count.

Where on this video do you see professional racing vehicles? These are production vehicles and are judged by various different aspects. You would take the R8, good for you, so would i probably. But not because professional drivers say so. I would test drive both cars and decide judging by my own experience. Not because someone else said so. Your point is so irrelevant to the video.

preofessional drivers hate it. find out why

I love the GTR but it lacks the most important factor and that is driver involvement. For the most part the GTR is very good at almost everything because of its AWD and electronic system correcting the car on the fly. The R8 however is all based on the drivers abilities to control the car itself. The GTR is an easy car to drive while the R8 is a car you need to practice to use. The R8 beats the GTR in car in terms of driving as it is a drivers car. It provide tons of fun as the car is something you need to actually tame and it provide excitement for every turn and straight. The GTR is a great benchmark car that can put up excellent times in testing. However it is very clear how much is taken away from the driver in the GTR. Given the chance I would still choose the GTR for my daily cruise and track car but my main track car would be an R8 in the sense of this video. The R8 is just much more fun.

It is possible to turn of the traction control however making the car much more fun to drive.

+PrimiusLovin The GTR has more torque then the R8, and the r8 is a v10, not a v12, so the r8 has 2 more cylinder then the GTR. I want to see the new 2017 R8 vs the new GTR. both uped their performances.

+Unknown Person The GT-R has a V-6. V-10 - V-6 = a difference of 4 cylinders...

+PrimiusLovin ehmmm Tourque??? ehmm Turbos????

Unknown Person are you kidding?

Having driven both, on a road, the gtr always feels board. Not borING per-say, but like it's grumpy your not on a racetrack. The r8 v10 was just a joy anywhere.

People are always following GT-R as soon as they see it. Some people worship GT-R as GOD on earth.

+Virak Thong me

+InfiniteEclipseFX GTR can be too boy racer though with an annoying fanbase, R8 is more refined and imo the one I would want to live with everyday.

+manrightchea While I agree with you, anywhere you go where you are thinking the Audi will give you some clout, the valets and such know what the GT-R is and have as much if not more respect for it. 1 implies you want status and presence where you go, the other is all about performance, and as such you get to be the envy of a lot of testosterone fueled kids. The fanbase is annoying with many vehicles, Jeeps vs Land Rovers; I could name many. As someone who has many lap days to humble how good, or lousy, I am, Randy's comments in this video of the GT-R say it all!

Anthony Puca I agree. However that assumption also rests with the idea that a person would want the R8 for what others think. I personally would want the R8 because it is refined, comfortable and still a fun car, not to impress others. That is the problem with the GTR, it is so computerized that it is the perfect poser-mobile for guys that want to show off but have little to no real interest in car culture or performance driving.

TheLordoftheRavens No.

Adrian Neigenfindt You should watch the video. Especially the end, where he explicitly states that the R8 is better in a plethora of ways.

TheLordoftheRavens In my opinion the GT-R is better. I don't like the design that much I just love it because of the facts

Adrian Neigenfindt If you look at the facts, you will see that the R8 is clearly better. Did you even watch the video?

TheLordoftheRavens Not till the end.. lol The R8 is better I got it now. But I would prefer the GT-R tho

/watch?v=TJmGkWRYWrk&list=FLbqhtOcdEGN-jKKTppeYvtw&index=3 This video sums up the R35

Brandyn Clark Pretty sure you're 12, have never driven, and do not understand a joke.

i disagree, if we are talking grip and cornering near the cars limit, nothing does it better than the 04-06 subaru sti`s

you can't spell 'does' .

Jeremy Clarkson Evolution is better in every way in terms of performance..

Audi r8 gets the girls.... the gtr is a dick magnet, the r8 is a chick magnet

The gtr is a a amazing thing but it's to ugly and rides to hard I had one

They say it's more embarrassing when you get whooped by a girl, so.. idk xD

InfinitySmile XL GTR looks ugly? which planet you are from?

i have a gtr black edition its better than a audi r8

If you want fun you can always put every mode in race, the gtr shuts off driver aids.

Augusto Ortiz whenever you put a GTR's traction control into race it doesn't shut it off completely.

I agree with you on the hating part, but imo both german automotive and japanese automotive are tied at this point.

ThEsMoKeRhAsCoNvErSe Can you imagine German and Japanese combine their art engineering supercar?. FUCKING YEAH!!

VampirateBloodR8 That would be fucking crazy, but awesome!

i am literally laughing out loud at this, I know I shouldn't be...

and yet there are many toyota and honda in america

Actually the way your comment was, it's called an opinion because on the road I like more of a noisy cars and go fast ppl will hear me zooming by them and feeling the bumps in the road(I really don't know why I like hitting bumps but whatever) and I also have a less chance of sleeping while driving, which will probably end up killing someone.

xD

Ha ha very funny... k i no dat GTR and Lambo has rivalries but i still like gtr over audi

Faiyed Halim lamborghini are audis

no way!!!

Faiyed Halim en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini

That was sarcasm bro

Why would there be something wrong? The v10 is atmospheric the v6 is turbocharged.

romeomuradin So is the Vipers V10 but it still manages 600 lb/ft so what is Audis excuse for only 398?

Mykell Schexnayder smaller displacement...maybe

I have a feeling that after what the RS7 did with the 4.0 (even crazier when tuned) we wont be seeing the V10 for much longer. The RS6 has already dropped it.

Cylinder number doesnt mean more power, there are too many variables to making power than just cylinder number

No, it really isn't.

Twinkie Fun y u like my comment then lmao

It isn't, no it's not, no no.

Public Enemy r34 or go home mate

***** you don't know me son what if im John F kennedy its just that the CIA faked my assasination because they knew we were close to global nuclear war and the recent events in cuba angered the Soviets because they looked weak for backing down and withdrawing nukes so they faked my death afraid if I was elected it would lead to more tension and allowed Nixon a bigger chance of winning the next election because they knew he would help to convince the Chinese to join our sides and become capitaists therefore reducing the price of global industries so that more people could afford every day items as well as cheaper for big compaines to purchase prodcuts

yes but probably not a lot consider GT-R is not the car Nissan is mainly sell.

It's a turbo, by its nature you won't hear the nice engine sound of a natural aspirated engine like in the R8.

goognam goognws Tell that to a German car.

goognam goognws Well turbo changes the exhaust/engine sound, but when you pair it with a blow off valve its the most sexy sound on the earth! Check out videos with turbo civic type-r's or si's.

+Willian Peng Bet you didn't either.

Chocolatepoptars that's why I'm not saying shit about any of these cars

I have one gtr 09.

I have an r8 2015

+AKF .gaming I have both, so I won. Oh wait... have them on GT6, does that count too?

True, Motor trend likes to go by the Fun to drive factor and not strictly on the Performance #'s. If you didn't have to pay for I think most would take the R8 because it costs so much more, looks and sounds better. Also every one has more fun in the opponents car (Fun factor). Sure a ferrari might be slower but most people would rather drive the ferrari. Hell, if you don't really like it you could always trade it in, get the GT-R and pocket $70k. As for the GT-R...sure it's acceleration from a stand still is amazing...once moving (say from a 40mph roll)most other supercars are out accelerating it. This fact is easily seen by how the R8 was 1/2 sec. behind @ 60mph BUT by the end of the 1/4mile the R8 cut the time to only 3/10 of a second and is going faster 125.8 vs. 125.1mph. The same thing happens vs. the viper, hellcat, GT500, etc. their 60-120mph (highway racing) acceleration is far superior. Sure the GT-R is the ugly duckling, but I can appreciate the low drag it gives the car. The fact that they didn't improve the sound or use more light weight materials over it's 9yr production is ridiculous. Sure it went up 65hp with this model since it's release...but it also went up $47,000 since it's release....and I don't see $47k worth of improvements.

if that's your point then they shoudn't be testing the cars then, it's pointless. just should just look at the tag price and its looks, and say "this car wins".

You've butchered the English language while trying to make your point, but i do agree.

TheLegingerbreadman Sorry, but it's a foreignlanguage.

I guess it's because non-Whites don't have souls, right?

emp0rizzle lol!

Rafael Pressler So you compare a sportwagon with a Supra?

It's called TV editing. Happens all the time in every show. They just splice up different vid clips and then add audio clip. I hate when they do it on National Geographic channel. They first record all animals at the zoo then add the jungle soundtrack and then they splice it up and make it look like it's in the jungle and shit.

could buy a GTR and an RS4 for the price of an R8 V10...not worth it.

Yuu Tuuber I'm all about the head 2 head, not what to do with that money. I would definitely do something different with such a budget, but if I had to choose between these two, I'd definitely get the Audi

R8 + is quicker on most tracks than this yr/model GT-R. Anyway if someone was worring about $$ there are better track cars for less than either of these, but for a daily driver...I too would get the R8.

+Yoseob Yang start saving kid

exactly! the gtr is like somewhere between riding shotgun and driving the audi. its fun, make no mistake, but the audi, or a hellcat, or something else incredible like that is just plain impossible to drive without smiling

doesnt have to be fancy to be fast

Z\28 says hi

C7 Z06 8SPD Auto laughs

Xenios9 and GT-R says bye

another 10 yr old fanboy,its not all about performance kid!

Robert Ri When I buy a performance car, I buy it for performance. I did not realize that people who race professionally care more about looks than performance. Also, keep the insults to yourself or be blocked.

+Dr Feel Good You can't perform to the limit on the freeway or the interstates. Audi R8 has the performance plus the luxury / comfort, plus it's the Ironman's car :)

Buck Rogers The GTR can reach its limits quicker than the Audi. It corners just as good and goes 0-60 better. Has many of the same bells as the Audi and it even has some the Audi does not have. What "significant" luxury do you get in the Audi...besides the name? Lol

Dr Feel Good Yeah, the name. At the end, it all that matters for most people.

I like R8's front and GTR's back

theviniso I like the r8's side

Patria O muerte same lol

actually nope

yeah gtr and its assisted computerized suspension adjust to a track and memorizes it to make driving easy :/ basically means takes no skill to drive and is not so interactive and own one and see its really not so great when parts start failing prematurely especially if u track and do one or two launches it so it sucks especially the transmission that fails even at 15k mileage many stuff not under warranty

Well I don't know bout that brah ,,I don't own one ,,I only own Nissan Altima which is pretty good😜😜😜.

kcuf foo just saying that the nissan gtr sucks ass and nissan knows that cause they wont cover the launch control in the warranty when they provide it on the car...my friend right now is changing his gearbox his gtr is only 3months old now :/

Roberson Lub Pls tell your friend get to know first how to drive GTR

Abid Chou lol what this is a gearbox failure. u can do launches in a porsche 911 turbo consecutively and have absolutely no problems!!! and they actually covere their launch control because they know it will hold up!! bro used launch control and tracked it a few times

Nobody can fit in the back seat

cheaper to maintain? the gtr is in a service price class of a porsche 911 gt2! brakes are shit and change it at nissan costs 6000 euro!

DiabloSVR98 Japanese cars will always be easier to maintain. European cars are always the most expensive to maintain because of their configuration. Talk to literally any car mechanic.

If the GTR has 4 seats then so does a 911 lol

Keep in mind that the r8 is German made which is also extremely reliable

noticed that too

noticed that too

-12 yo

If the Audi didn't come with better tires, why reward it?

I guess it's a good thing I'm a girl. Cause I like the R8.

***** *face palm*

Joseph C. R8 is not for the man is for the fucked up ones haha, the Nissan GT-R is like a F1 racing machine, the fucked up ones like you prefer cars like R8, not the technological thing, if you were a bit more clever you would not consider what they say in these pesky videos.

***** Speak English you fob fucker.

Z\28 says hi

agree its just a box basically super wide the skyline r34 looks better than a gtr35

Maybe, but audi ios look like shit

I don't like the back, doesn't have style. Well, this is the difference between a sports car and a luxury sports car. This is also the reason why rich people would never buy a gtr instead of a (ex: lambo) because of the performance (like the children in the comments section say they would do).

David Thomas GtR looks so ugly, but R8 looks like a SHIT. cant even compare it

skuirpy scuirpy the fuck are you talking about? R8 is one of the most amazing looking cars. Gtr looks like a fast car on a design budget. Audi has Class written all over it

+lithium2000 dont think the nismo was out when they made this video.

Have you ever been in a GT-R? Its has barely any under steer. Its fast even with summer tires ( not track tires ) which is the Black Edition GT-R. Once you've driven one, judge it. But I'm pretty sure a 13 yr. old boy (you) has never even seen one. So please shut up with your stupidity. Thank You.

Selvin Calix Man, calm down.. Do you even drive R8 when you talk so much ? You don't know how much funny is it... The GT-R is like train... NO FUN, bro...

Selvin Calix I'm not 13 you idiot. Yes I feel the R35 gas an under steer much more than the R34

So, R35 has better performance, better tires, safer, more comfortable to seat in 70K bucks cheaper. And the Audi is a better car because it can't handle it's own shit in a corner and has leather seats which can't hold you in. The logic you people have is astonishing. -.-

Ѕвонко Петровски The R35 is definitely not more comfortable to ride in. Did you see the guy riding the car in the video? He didnt stop bumping the whole time.

LOL

+Enigma Cipher Motor Trend tends to pick the car they would rather have. There are more track/stat based channels on youtube like EVO who would more likely pick GTR. I think they all fit their own purpose. R8 is where my money would go. So it wins in my book too.

Evan Gonzalez Again not dissing the R8, fun car no doubt about it, and it LOOKS more like a supercar then the GT-R, but performance for the money the GT-R blows it out of the water without question. There are exactly two legitimate criticisms of the GT-R, the 1st is that it is too heavy, yep totally agree with that although the fact that it can achieve that kind of performance at 3,800lbs only makes it that much more impressive, and the 2nd is that all that high tech fly by wire goodness reduces the drivers role in the process, also true but we don't have enough hands and feet to control torque distribution, break distribution, and suspension settings 1000 times a second no matter how good a driver you are, so I just consider that an evolutionary step in vehicle performance.

+Enigma Cipher very well put in words couldnt agree more.

Remember though... You're driving a Nissan... Let that set in for a sec... Now let's say you go with the Audi, yes you're driving a German man car vs a Japanese car. Think about that... Asian girls will be coming for you man, don't want that do you. Personally I'd rather have beautiful blonde haired blue eyed babes crawling after my Audi, plus two seats is an advantage. Only you and your girl, you don't have to bring your four buddy's and oops one of them spills McDonald's all over your Nissan... Specs are specs. It's all about the driver, no one is the same, great driver in Audi>good driver in Nissan...

+Jack Rotter said the kid lol.. i am german and Audi is a expensive VW..low Quality. brainless fanboy. the gtr guy will take your "girlfriend"

+Robert DiGiovanni ...you seem to be mentally challenged or simply have a room temperature IQ. You're comparing a n/a car with a forced induction car: remove the GT-R's turbos or add two to R8 and see what happens. GT-R is for boys, and on track Audi showed with R8 GT that it still doesn't need forced induction to outperform a GT-R... Learn your shit...

Daumex um..no if you consider the fact that the Audi has 4 more cylinder than the GTR and larger displacement.

+Robert DiGiovanni There's nothing more poser than a GTR though. Your post basically looks like every 12 year old GTR fanboy on KZfaq.

Some of these people are just hating the gtr because it completely demolishes their favorite overpriced overhyped super cars LOL.

left4deadian true

left4deadian SOOOOO TRUE!!!!!

No, we hate it because it is a ROAD car, nit a race car. Why not have fun driving it? If it is supposed to be fast and practical, then why just make it mostly for lap times. We hate it because it doesn't put a smile on your face everytime you drive it.

AdrenalineInducedHigh exactly why it doesnt put a smile on your face when you drive it is because you never drove one or because it can out run the cars that are on a poster in your room boy. You are talking about lmost every other road car made to be fast. They all are better suited for the track even though they are road cars so your point is invalid.
