Place Your Bets For This Honda NSX Vs Mercedes-AMG GT R Race
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, as the weird old saying goes. The point, in this case, is that if you have about £145,000 burning a hole in your pocket, there are two very different ways to spend it.
Car Wow has released the latest in its regular series of drag races. Standing toe to toe are the Mercedes-AMG GT R and the Honda NSX. One is a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 brute sending all its muscle to the rear wheels, while the other is a petrol-electric hybrid with clever four-wheel drive and three electric motors to bolster its 3.5-litre blown V6.
The two cars try a straightforward drag race, then a rolling drag from third gear, and finally an emergency brake test from 70mph. Here’s a clue: the result is a 2-1 win… but which car is your money on?

Tbh, I go for the NSX
Yeah, in the drag it won
Hmmm I wonder why…
My bet without watching the video: I’d say the Honda performs better, but the Mercedes looks a million times better.
You were correct.
I knew the NSX would win as it gets off the line faster. AWD > RWD not to mention the instant torque from the NSX’s electric motors.
Alright, where’s my money?
now the nsx has defeated 2 GT-Rs

I’m sorry but when a brake test is this close, the difference is in human reaction/error and you can’t really use it in a (fair) comparison
Hello sir, have an upvote and a reply, you are right !
this test need to be set 3 times to get something more accurate !
to those of you who look at the new NSX and say wow a honda beat a merc dont look at it that way cus they are both expensive cost the same and are both amazing cars this video doesnt prove the NSX is better its just says they are too close to call which is better except for straight line from standing start obviosly awd with electric motors wins but in this case not by far
3.5L Blown V6? Supercharged? Its a twin turbo.
