Watch A New Audi RS 6 Avant Pulverise A Nissan GT-R In A Drag Race

On paper the GT-R should take the win easily, but the result when Carfection races Godzilla against the new RS 6 is so one-sided that you'd imagine that the Nissan had a fault...

You know the drill: it’s yet another ‘is car X faster than a Nissan GT-R?’ video. This time it’s the turn of Carfection to pit the much-loved, much-hated Japanese legend against something they bought along for the ride; the channel’s RS 6 Avant crew car.

It’s twin-turbo V8 and dog-carrying practicality versus twin-turbo V6 and Internet stardom. It’s not as close as you’d think, though, and without wanting to spoil all the delicious excitement for you, the GT-R just doesn’t seem quite on form, to us. Have a look and let us know what you think.

Nissan really need to update the R36. First it loses to a 911 Turbo S, then a 570S and now an estate! R35 is old, Nissan, so stop milking it like a fat cow (which it is).

Audi is the new Usain Bolt of Saloons. It made the GT-R look like it was walking.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the rs6 and would choose over the gtr in a heartbeat. But this seems a bit off. If the GTR can crack 60 in under 3 seconds, a bad start cant nearly be more than 3.5. And if Audi understated their 3.9 second, surely the best time the rs6 could post is 3.5 again. What’s with the annihlation of the gtr?

The best part is that it wasn’t even an Audi RS6 Performance.
