Comparison 2015 Nissan GT R vs 2014 Audi R8
When it comes to high-end sports coupes, most people think of brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar. But what most people wont expect is an incredible performer from Nissan, a brand known for small city cars and three-row people carriers. But their performance car, the GT-R, is a very worthy competitor, and I think its only fair to put up against a benchmark sports car, the Audi R8.
2. Audi R8
I hate myself for putting the R8 in second, but it was obvious that the R8 is not nearly as good as the GT-R. Sure, it might be a million times better looking and has a much better interior (and may I ask: who wants to pay $100K for a Nissan badge?). But the R8 falls short in several major categories, such as 0-60 acceleration, horsepower, and value. The R8 is $14,130 more than the GT-R, and is considerably slower. 0-60 in the R8 takes an almost slow (well, not slow, but slow compared to the GT-R) 4.2 seconds, but at least the top speed is 186 mph. I find the 4.2 liter V8 far preferable to the Nissans 3.8 liter V6, but is much less powerful. 430 hp isnt that much anymore. Even the Dodge Charger SRT8 has 470 hp. But one of the positive points of the R8 is the interior. Not very complicated, but a nice place to be, especially with the quilted leather seats. Click here to go to the Audi website.

Personally, I dont like the GT-R that much, but I will admit it is fast. With a 0-60 time of just 3.0 seconds, the GT-R will keep up with a Lamborghini Aventador and a McLaren MP4-12C. My biggest question for the GT-R is how the twin-turbo V6 produces 545 hp and 463 pound-feet of torque. I find that almost impossible, but somehow, theyve managed it. The interior isnt nearly as nice as the R8s, and almost looks like an old Nintendo console. I dont like it very much, and I could say the same for the rest of the styling. It isnt very pretty or sleek, and looks like an enlarged Subaru BR-Z. Click here to go to the Nissan website.

2013 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT
Mercedes presents a new top model of its super sports car: Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT. 591 hp, a new suspension and a revised gear to make the cars even fitter for the race track. But of course you want the feel as a coupe and a roadster GT also available on public roads at home.
More power and shorter switching times
The standard of the SLS-known 6.2-liter V8 in the GT model makes 20 hp more. The now achieved 591 horsepower are reached by motor-side measures to dethrottling in conjunction with an increase of peak pressure. The maximum torque of 650 Nm remains unchanged. Direct and spontaneous presents itself on the rear axle placed seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox AMG Speedshift DCT: For manual gear selection via shift paddles should be made to the gear changes much more quickly than before. The tangible for the drivers reaction time is expressed by shifting harder. The automatic throttle function when downshifting is distinctive from the Mercedes SLS AMG GT.
In 3.7 seconds to 100 and 320 km / h
In the performance, the GT variant, easy-to: completes the sprint from zero to 100 km, the top version of a tenth faster than the conventional SLS - in 3.7 seconds. 200 km is reached after 11.2 seconds. The top speed is now 317 instead of 320 km / h For enhanced driving dynamics ensures a newly developed chassis, called "AMG Ride Control Performance." It has a tighter Feder and no need for a "comfort" mode. The prevention of roll and pitch movements should allow an even better race track performance. Mercedes promises for the GT version correspondingly faster lap times on race tracks as the regular SLS.
Visual accents inside and out
Recognize the Mercedes SLS AMG GT is on a darkened headlights, taillights and red painted brake calipers. The wing-shaped cross fin and the large star on the radiator grille are also held in high gloss as the mirrors and the fins on the hood and fenders. The AMG logo on the right rear cover bears the words "GT."
The inside matt black alloy wheels in a ten-spoke design are fitted with tires of size 265/35 R 19 front and 295/30 R 20 rear tires. The interior is sporty and elegant. The sports seats have a seat centers in Alcantara and an embossed AMG emblem in the headrest. The door panels are covered with Alcantara.
In combination with the black interior is red seat belts on board. The decorative stitching on the seats are on the center console and the door linings likewise kept in red. The sports steering wheel with flattened lower rim carries a red twelve-Clock-mark.
Launch for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT in October 2012.

It is shifted in the fastest production Bentley ever stepped on a tight eight-speed automatic transmission. Thus, the force is also well on the road, the Bentley Continental GT has a permanent four-wheel drive with central Torsen differential.
Inside, the Englishman then quickly convince most precious materials, which were mostly made by hand. As standard, the Bentley Continental GT Speed already on the Mulliner Driving package, which offers even more luxury.
