Nissan GT-R vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS - which is fastest? | evo DRAG BATTLE

Here we answer one very simple question - which is fastest? A Nissan GT-R Track Edition, or a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

So which will win? The 542bhp GT-R with four-wheel drive, or the 493bhp Porsche 911 GT3 RS with rear-wheel drive and a rapid fire PDK gearbox.

That was massively satisfying to watch.

I really didn't expect the gt3 to win : rwd, less power, no turbos.. the want is strong with this car!

[Salomondrin]

wait... how can any car be faster than a GTR??!?

[resnonverba]

As a Porsche fan, I am pleasantly surprised - the GT3 RS is even better than I thought. Doesn't detract from how good the GTR remains though.

[chrissorreda]

What the fuck just happened?! I'm a Porsche fan (not a fanboy) but I accepted that the GTR would win. Talk about a good upset.

[sparkplug]

Very surprising video, there is not much out there that can beat a GT R off the line, and I did not think the GT3 RS would do it, being RWD, what an epic car.

Hahaahaha GTR fan boys are going to say.... "yes but that GTR driver is crap"

[BlakesGarage]

GT3 RS all day over the GTR! Drivers car vs Car that drives.

This is what separates japanese super cars from European super cars. GTR has AWD and twin turbos yet still takes longer 0-60 and slower to the half mile than a RWD NA 4.0 flat 6. Not hating on the GTR but Japanese fanboys should respect the engineering behind Euro cars

[MarkVinewood]

That Porsche is really impressive! I love how that launch control didn't simply dump the clutch and rely on 4wd traction (like the GTR seemed to do) but was really intensely fighting for grip. 3.0 seconds from 0-60 is insanely fast for a 2wd car. Well done!

First let me say i would take a regular gt3 over any gtr. However, all this talk about GTR fanboys and how the GTR has nothing but 0-60 times well it smells of butthurt Porche boys. The GTR no matter which way you slice it is an amazing machine. Dollar per dollar it punches way above its weight and the thing is the car handles as well. Lets not forget how butt hurt a Porsche got when the first Nring times were released by the GTR. Both great machines. Porsche boys you can relax even if the GTR is constantly haunting its a different car and quite frankly it has made porsches better vehicles because of it.

i'd like to see the gt3rs vs the speciale because i've never seen those two battle

[ravenstylea]

Just about all the GTR tests I've seen it does a 0-60 in about 2.9 seconds

[AParshi]

I'm confused...they said that the launch control didn't work and then the showed them setting up the launch control incorrectly by putting the suspension mode onto comfort instead of R mode. If you don't have all 3 switches in R mode you can't even use the launch control. On top of that if you listen to the video you can clearly hear that the GTR is not put into launch control mode - the launch control mode requires that you put all 3 R switches into R mode and then hold the brake down to the floor, then hold the gas pedal down to the floor, it revs to 4200rpm and holds, and then you release the brake and must hold the gas pedal down to the floor 100% or it exits the launch. If the GTR was at 4200rpm before they said "go" we would clearly have heard the motor/exhaust. You can say I'm a GTR fanboy or whatever, but i expected the $400k GT3RS to be faster anyway, but i expected it to be fair and done right. Oh and i own a GTR and have never experienced any problems with the launch control, not once. As other commentors mentioned, GTR fanboys will complain about the driver - but I'm not complaining about the drivers skills, rather his lack of knowledge of the technology.

The days of GT-R doing a sub 3 second 0-60 launch are long gone. It seems the increase in power has made it slower compared to the 2012 version lol.

[chriskev]

GT-R fanboys would be like "oh that GT-R driver was crap" or "the tires on the GT-R weren't that good"

[obananamano]

Motor Trends ignition episode 67 clocked the GTR at 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds, quarter mile at 11.0. possible explanations for Evos results are: nanna was driving the GTR, they were 20, 000 feet above sea level, they were in dubai, that particular GTR was dragged through the ringer and the rings and compression are shot to shit

[banddude]

GT-R is still doing 0-60 at 3 seconds meanwhile the 911 Turbo S has been doing 2.5 seconds for years.

[MonsterChad]

When the narrator talked about the Launch Control for the GTR it shows the person putting the suspension in soft mode. The Three switches need to be in R mode for the Launch Control to work. Unless that was an error on their part.

[ToulKorkMan]

time for Nissan to make a smaller lightweight version of the GTR.
