Watch The Audi TT RS Give A Nissan GT-R A Serious Run For Its Money
It’s a tried and tested formula: want to prove a particular car is quick? Race it against a Nissan GT-R, and post the results on YouTube.
However, an Audi TT RS shouldn’t stand a chance against an R35 in a straight-line battle, should it? That’s what we thought, but it in this drag race from Top Gear, the pint-sized Audi initially gets the jump on the Nissan, and isn’t reeled in until much further down the runway.
The 3.26sec 0-60mph time clocked by the Nissan strikes us as a below-par performance for the V6-powered beast - for whatever reason, it just doesn’t look to have hooked up so well at the start. We don’t want to take anything away from the Audi’s mighty performance, though, and even with the GT-R more on-form, the little RS still wouldn’t have been far behind.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Audi: Killing GT-Rs since 2016
I guess the TT RS had the iOS 11 beta while the GTR had iOS 10 🤷♂️

IMHO the GT-R could’ve launched with more revs, tho I don’t know crap
Wait TTRS and GTR have tons of similarities. Fron engine, turbo, AWD, 2 doors, 4 seats, DCT… TTRS is basically a small GTR

Finally some proof how overrated the R35 is.
I’d expect the YouTube comment section to be full of GT-R fanboys. Huge surprise, I was right.
I call Bullshit
#1- Launched with way too less revs
Audi advert anyone??
