Let me get this straight. You turned off the Nissan GTR's launch control to level out the playing field...so the Merc could win by a pubic hair? lol!

No justice in this test. NISMO NISMO NISMO.

Most powerful AMG in history? I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head that have more power and more torque too.

Why not the Nissan GT-R nismo ?

Nissan GT-R is the only real king of GT-R

Do a rolling drag race because the GT-R's blistering acceleration... so you're taking away its strength in order that it loses? Why?

will the real gtr stand up? loool we all know who the king is. Everyone hates it for it's technology.. Godzilla doesn't need to stand up for anyone or anything. Godzilla is one of the most iconic cars in history. Godzilla already left it's mark. Godzilla doesn't need to get judged by these flimsy biased reviewers. Godzilla is Godzilla and it doesn't give a shit about you.

I love how the R35 is half the price yet still fighting

First off, the AMG GTR should face Nissan GTR NISMO and AMG GT face Nissan GTR. And yea... when the GTR is better off the line, you guys conveniently decided to make it a rolling start. Hmmmmm........... nice try.

I'd pick the GTR

Was it so hard to use a Nismo ?

"The most powerfull AMG in history"....emhhh no it's not...the SL65 AMG black series, the S65 AMG, the SLS AMG black series, the new S63 and the new E63 S are all more powerfull....

So they gave the track focused AMG every advantage they could cook up and it barely beat the softer, more refined version of the REGULAR GT-R from Nissan? . . . this represents why I've stopped watch car reviews. TRASH!

So the brand-new, top-of-the-line Merc GT R goes about toe-to-toe with the real, standard GT-R that's been on sale for 10 years and has its ESC engaged... What an achievement.

wonder why you didn't use the top spec GT-R Nismo against the top spec AMG to make it a representative test? then the price gulf wouldn't have been as much as well. probably should've done that.

I'd still take Godzilla. ✊🏿

i watched for a few minutes and u guys bored me to death. the GTR in my mind is still the Nissan. The Mercedes is great but its not a GTR .

Most Powerful AMG in history is not this one , SLS Black series and all the V12 TT are more powerful

AMG GT(base)

Although the Mercedes GTR is amazing in all with its v8, I still choose the Nissan GTR

I prefer the GTR to the GTR really. The GTR is nice but it can't match the GTR in my opinion.

Even if the GTR was as expensive as the Mercedes, and I had the money, I would still go for it...

Such a better review format than others you've done. Great work!

*sponsered and paid by mercedes. ..... They didnt mention it in the video so i will .

AMG GTS vs GTR AMG GTR vs GTR Nismo You take the hardcore version of the AMG GT and the base GTR for comparison?!

This review is stupid, there should be the gt-r nismo, not the normal one against the AMG gt-r, of course the normal gt-r is going to loose against the most powerful of the gt series!

Great job, Steve, as Always, Thank You!

They don't race against the Nismo GT-R is because the Nismo will spank the Mercedes amg gt -r

Sunshine in the UK!!!?? Holy shit!

Rolling race? 😂 they didn't want to show the AMG get rolled from a standing start

This Nissan launch control is so much better we won't use that test? Sounds fair mate.

Sweet intro color grading, editing, etc!

"We'll just use the top of the line for the newer car and use the base model on the old car, heck lets not do launch control so its fair for the AMG" Y'all are clowns.

"The most powerful AMG yet" vs the strandard factory nissan GTR....why not use the Nismo against the amg...

Oh, this isn't Motor Trend?!

despite 10 years of the r35, The gtr still manages to hold up in the competition

That AMG makes the GTR look slim!!

Just seems like everything is being done to favour the merc

Awesome comparison video.

Honestly as a Japanese car specific car enthusiast, I love both.

which one is faster? Benz Which one looks better? Benz (oh my fucking god!!!) Which one is more capable? Benz Which one is made in Japan? Nissan GTR XD

Bull shit test

That gtr is 10 years old and still is so close it is just Japanese top quality.

Great title: "would the real GTR please stand up?" :DDD

My Reliant Robin can most likely go around those corners faster than these 2 lightweights.

This is the most bias review towards the AMG. I had to put the video on mute just to finish the video.

Nice review Steve. Not sure going sideways is important for a road car, but I guess it is fun to play around with it. I love the N/A engines from AMG.

Great review Sutcliffe :)

What's the point of a press car that you can't turn the driver aids off in? Cmon Nissan...

Still would take the Nissan GTR. It's cheaper to buy, maintain, and gas up. The Merc looks great and sounds awesome, but in terms of money and reliability, I'd get the Nissan. Also you get performance in the Nissan that could compete with other high end super cars for cheaper.

Lovely filming at the start 👍🏻

Wont be wasting my time with any other auto express videos

for 143k$ you can get the nissan GTR and an AMS alpha 9 package. smashing the AMG.

How much did AMG pay you guys for this review? Hahaha

Did Steve just call the Nissan GTR 'analog'!? Hahahahahahah. Fuck me, every single journalist for the past decade have moaned that it is too digital.

The suspense of whether I would hear Sutcliffe's voice in the video is an order of magnitude more than the suspense of the track battle

And as you can see the AMG is the greenest of the two... Now, on our last test.. Which one is the most German?.... 😂

why on world would you even compare the AMG to Godzilla?

I like both of these cars at the end of the day it's a matter of personal choice nice review of these video brilliant thankyou

I greatly appreciate your conclusion to this comparison. These are 2 magnificent cars. There is nothing to be gained by claiming 1 'destroys' the other... or 'dominates' or whatever as so many channels produced by 20 year olds like to say. I don't race my cars and regardless of how much any of us enjoy the ones we choose to own at the moment, there is no reason to say our fellow enthusiasts enjoy their chosen machine any less. Rock On brothers!

it must be compared with nismo not the ordinary gtr 🖓🖓🖓🖓🖓🖓🖓

I love the Mercedes-AMG GT R's style

In terms of external appearance, interior design and sound, the AMG is the winner hands down. In terms of value, daily use practicality and mod potential there's no question the one true GTR is unbeatable.

Very nice conclusion. Im one hundred percent with you on that.

Nissan gtr all day

This test is made on purpose to void the AWD difference and efficiency of the Nissan GT-R, the tests executed ARE ridiculously BIASED and this is a JOKE. In real life the Nissan GT-R would destroy the Mercedes in a straight line because of traction and more efficiency but the idiots conducting the test decided to start a roll on accelaration ? WTF a joke! Another test is in a curb while removing the traction control, they awarded the Mercedes the victory driving in a curb ?? with no traction control ? WTF ? Stupid in real world again the Nissan GT-R would destroy the Mercedes driving FAST in a curb. This is ridiculously biased against the Nissan GT-R who is clearly the superior vehile costing HALF the money. POOR journalism if you ask me... Nicolas Tetrault, M. Sc.

RWD is my thing , the Benz looks mean. Engine looks like it's sitting behind the axles, interior is quality and ur getting a 4.0L V8-TT. SOLD. I've drove a tuned GTR and it was insane. The grip , sound , and power was something I never forgot

This was done months ago on Motor Trend. It doesn't even make sense as a comparison as no one cross shops a MB with a Nissan

Nissan GT is far better than Amg... Mercedes has paid you bro!!

Nissan: Includes capable awd system Reviewer: Ensures the GT-R does not benefit from it during performance testing I personally think both cars are boring and ugly but lets be real that was blatantly bias.

People forget how old the GTR is, and the way its turbo V6 keeps up with turbo V8's is amazing

Steve Sutcliffe - "In order to get the best out of the Nissan you need to disables it's ESC system...Nissan asked us not to touch the magic button..." Chris Harris -

I'd still take the mercedes

The amount of GT-R fanboys crying is spetacular!!!!

I had an R35 for a couple of years....... Truly awesome car....... I'd sooner walk than drive a SMERC.......

I'm not a GTR fan, but it's only fair to use the Nismo GT-R...

very bias. The Nismo GTR is the one that should be compared to this Mercedes AMG GTR. But in the end That was a 10 year old Nissan. Nissan GTR > AMG GTR. German cars break down easily like an old person getting sick too easy.

Mercedes AMG GTR (stock) Nurburgring Laptime: "7:10" with just stock street tires, RWD and not even with a professional racing driver is only 2 seconds slower than the stronger GTR Nismo with AWD and 600PS and faster than any Ferrari or Porsche except 918, any questions? Dont cry Datsun/Nissan Fanboys :)

How are they going to use the top model amg and compare it to the base model Nissan GTR instead of the top model nismo

What a great video.

Nissan GTR = the real GTR this new mercedes thing is nothing in front of the GTR

You make the tests easier for the Mercedes and it wins? What a surprise!

It's not about who's faster it's about the unique characteristics of each vehicle,it's preference oriented video

People are actually mad that the 10 year old Datsun lost to the track monster and brand new AMG GTR? THAT'S your take away? This only proves how capable and ahead of its time Godzilla was/is to still be competitive at this level. Take pride in that accomplishment instead of whining about perceived bias. Both great machines.

The Nissan is a cheap piece of shit

Amg gtr is a beast 😍👌

Still love the TRUE NISSAN GT-R !! More cheaper, more fun and many aftermarket part can be install inside that Godzilla You can't steal the glorious name of 'GT-R' because it has a lot of story, history and experience !!

yoooh that AMG intro is sick!!

AMG GTR lovely.....

0:15 That misalignment on the truck of the AMG GTR is unforgivable, and they charge more than double the price of the standard AMG GT for this. Well done Mercedes, well done.

As the "drag race" shows this is just another commercial from AMG

The GTR sent the German and Italian performance car manufacturers back to the drawing board in 2009. Ferrari engineers said it is impossible to make a car to do what the GTR does. They tried everything in 10 years to counter this car with some success. They had 8-10 years and they still cannot make “a much better car” apart Porsche and some HyperCars... even those are just half a second faster and other small performance differences. THEREFORE GHE GTR IS A BETTER CREATION OF THE AUTO INDUSTRY!

AMGGGG😍😍😍💕💕

Steve Sutcliffe, Chris Harris and Jethro Bovingdon are the best car journalist in the world. Period. ":-)

I've been a Nissan fan boy for ages so loving the Nissan GT-R is a foregone conclusion. I have never found a Mercedes desirable. I think Mercedes engineered feeling out of their cars 30 years ago in favor of sterility that rivals an operating theatre. All that changed when Mercedes released this AMG GT-R. It is achingly beautiful and the engine sounds are great. The interior has been given over to the AMG division entirely, it seems. It's just way too good looking to have come from a normal chrome worshiping Mercedes affiliated design studio. It also has that lovely, traditional, overall GT shape with the long hood and the small cabin. First new car in a long time to make me question my life choices.

Since when do drag races not start from a standstill ? You can’t lob away a standard test because the other car does it too well

yes /////AMG

the merc wins cuz the race is staged

My word, such two masterpieces!! Personally a JDM guy and would take the Nissan all day, but god doesn't the AMG GT R make one look and feel utterly special! Hats off to AMG for making such a great machine and also can't wait to see what Nissan has been up to with (possibly) the R36 GT-R.

There's only one true GTR - aka Godzilla ;)
