Audi R8 V10 Plus vs Nissan GTR R35 – Drag Race
In this video you will watch an AUDI R8 V10 Plus (610HP) VS Nissan GTR R35 (545hp) Drag Race
Audi R8 V10 Plus (610hp)
With everything turned right down, the R8 V10+ is a docile, supple and relatively quiet machine. As long as you don’t need rear seats there’s no reason the R8 couldn’t be a daily driver. Turn it all up, though, and it really does transform into a bona fide supercar.
The drivetrain is stunning – the engine is ferociously responsive and it revs with real intensity in the upper reaches, while the gearbox is instantaneous. It ranks among the very best for immediacy and is one of the major areas of improvement over the old car. It’s a pity more of the serrated, hard-edged exhaust bark doesn’t find its way into the cabin, but here is an engine with the character and excitement we expect of a supercar.
The Dynamic Steering feels pretty good a notch or two back from the limit and it’s unwaveringly precise. The weighting is pretty natural, too, so the front axle responds with a predictable immediacy. It all feels nicely cohesive.

Nissan GTR R35 Performance(545hp)
The GT-R is one of today’s more insane performance bargains, but how does it get there? By letting a pair of turbochargers rampage all over a 3.8-liter V-6 and sending that power through a fast-acting dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels via one of the most advanced all-wheel-drive systems on the market.
With 545 horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque on tap, even the base form of the GT-R is so astonishingly fast—0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds—that you can become bleary-eyed before you reach its ragged edges. It’s not surprising that we, and others, have found the driving experience to be a little video game-like at times.
The transmission and related bits live in the rear end to give the car even better weight balance than its rear-biased setup would normally provide. The all-wheel-drive system is rear-biased as well, and it can vary the torque split from 100 percent to the rear to 50/50 depending on speed, lateral acceleration, steering angles, tire slip, road surface and yaw rate. The GT-R also has adjustable suspension, transmission, and stability-control settings to relieve its stiff ride and neural responses when you’re just tooling around for admiration.
In “R” mode, all those reflexes are sharpened. It’s a life-changing experience to wind the GT-R into long sweepers at triple-digit speeds and feel almost complacent as it just hangs on, drama-free, ready for you to throw on its Brembo six-piston front, four-piston rear brakes.
