Nissan GT-R 1600hp v 1000hp v 650hp: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

Who’s ready for an INSANE three-way Nissan GT-R drag race?!

Mat’s pulled together three different GT-Rs which have been tuned to different levels, and he wants to find out just how much performance you get depending on how much you spend upgrading your car.

Of course, Mat’s chosen the most powerful one for himself. It’s had an engine rebuild so you’ll now find a 4.1-litre V6 under the bonnet which produces an astronomic 1,600hp & 1630Nm of torque!! All-in-all, around £100,000 was spent on these upgrades.

Alongside him, we have a GT-R that’s had £35,000 of upgrades added to it. These include adding hybrid turbos and strengthening the gearbox, and as a result, the car now kicks out 1,000hp & 1,150Nm.

Then finally we have the most basic car here. It’s had an ECU remap, along with new intakes & exhausts added to it. Thanks to that, it now puts down 650hp (100hp more than the standard car) along with 840Nm.

So the result may be a foregone conclusion, but will the 1,600hp GT-R prove its worth?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

03:50 "3.5 inches that isn't going to please anybody is it?" Mat Watson, 2021

🤦‍♂️

[obananamano]

1600hp is impressive, but 1000hp tuned 6 years ago and 50, 000kms is way more impressive

[Adam-nvzo]

I think the fact that the 1000hp build has lasted so long is pretty impressive

[rich_siyabonga]

Matt, that 1600 is outrageous. I felt the wind inside that beast

[ujjpeet]

The fact that the most powerful car broke proves how big the stress is the powertrain must absorb during full acceleration from 0. No matter what car, this can cause lot of harm

[shakesnbake]

In all the years I've watched Carwow, I've never seen Mat make a facial expression like he did in the 1600 😳

[TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Omg its so powerful even that turn signal lever behind steering wheel are shaking at 5:21

[culilom]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the 1600hp gtr won, the 1000hp went second and lastly the 650hp.

[James-semaJ]

That was great. It's videos like this that remind that Brian owed Dom a 10 second car. Which car in fast and furious was actually a 10 second 1/4 mile lol.

[garytsuikk]

So the key take away is you don't need a 1650hp GtR because it breaks down in no time. A well built 1000hp one will be ok but that is also a hit or miss. A 650hp with minimal butchering to the car is probably your best bet to have fun. Got it. 😅

whoever edited this one did a banger job.

come here for the no nonsense drag racing, and got treated to some nice bits
that end of video fakeout and the gtr cologne, nice touches

[stingerprints]

I love how this channel respects and uses GT-R's and Turbo S as a metric

[TheJkghfg]

4:29 I love that "hold on" was genuinely part of the instructions and not a joke.

[twitchdailies]

why do i watch this, the result is in the title

[andygrant]

I honestly didn't expect the difference to be that huge. Obviously the 1600 would win but I didn't think it would be that massive a gap with the cars being as fast as they are in standard trim.

[jasperkolbrink]

Haha, hearing Mat still screaming outside the car, is brilliant!! Well done editor!

[adrianhazzard]

After all these years the GTR still looks fantastic.

[SiZzLePoPPiN]

Possibly the best car for the money ever produced. I simply love the GTR

[crearive]

I love GT-R V6 sound and and the whistling of the turbo. Best V6 sound

[drivermobius]

“3.5 inches, … yeah that isn’t gonna please anybody” I spilled my beer.
