Video: Nissan GT-R against Bugatti Veyron

By George Skentzos |

Almost a decade ago, Top Gear showed us the difference between a really fast car, and the McLaren F1 –now Evo has paid homage to this film by pitting the Nissan GT-R against the Bugatti Veyron.

With the Nissan GT-R boasting perhaps the most explosive take-off of any car in the world, for just how long will it stay ahead of the Veyron?

The Story of the Nissan GT-R continues to amaze us, just when you thought “that’s as good as it’s going to get for a while” there’s a better one. It’s like Apple and its iPhone, you need to buy a new GT-R every year just to keep up with all the changes. The 2012 Nissan GT-R sees power output increase to 404kW with 632Nm of torque.

    Why did they hae to play such annoying music? Haha, anyway, the Nissan put up a good fight… At the begginging maybe, they Veyron toasted it otherwise.

  • RALLYX

    Just goes to show that the Veyron still reigns as the King in the quickest of road registrable production cars in the world.

  • Yanzo

    when the veyron gave the gt-r a head start. omg… gt-r was like oh you ain’t gonna catch me that easily, veyrons like oh yes i am

  • naei

    Still reigns as the King and so what? Veyron costs more than 30 times the GT-R. GT-R is the king of performance/cost ratio!

  • The Original Tom

    I agree. What a boring video with the crappy music. Hides the awesome sound of the most amazing car in the world.

    How about an on board showing how quickly the Veyron loses the GT-R from a stand still… that flying start comparison was utterly underwhelming. Not taking anything away from the GT-r, but Veyron took forever to catch up so it certainly wasn’t dramatic.

  • Devil666

    If only Veyrons’ didn’t bog down off the line so much…. I wonder if you could remedy this, then perhaps shave a few .1′s off the 0-100km/h?

  • GGG

    What a beast…still, id rather the GTR, a BMW M5 daily and a nice paid-off house….

    Last 30 seconds was outstanding

  • Devil666

    PS, 2020 VS 1750KG ??

    Godzilla needs a diet!

    GTR is still ugly

    Add some upgraded turbos, injectors, Accessport, and an exhaust, and you are starting to get closer to a Veyron. Still won’t be nearly as fast top end, but from a dig and over a quarter, the guy in the Bugatti will need to be on.

    what a pointless video, isn’t it obvious what would have happened? it’s like comparing a prius with a ss commodore… I don’t need a video to show me how much faster a 1000hp moster is compared to a skyline

    Ages ago I got an issue of EVO and it had one of my favourite columns in it: super hotted up versions of a Nissan Micra, Smart fortwo, original Mini and the new Mini. Jeez I loved it!

  • Rad

    This is quite possibly the stupidest video I’ve ever seen.

    Certainly proves EVO Magazine are a bunch of idiots. At least Top Gear got it right when they raced the Mclaren F1 and the Veyron.

    A fairer competition would be between the hennessey 610kw Nissan GTR and the VEYRON.. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/

    Also check out the twin turbo viper,it beat the veyron over 1000 metres…

  • AAA

    That’s so fkn stup1d putting a 480 bhp Nissan GT-R against a 1001 bhp Veyron.

    May be it’s worth while to watch if they put a 1000 bhp Nissan GT-R against that 1001 bhp Veyron ~

  • Ben Larden

    If they were trying to embarass the GTR, they failed. This video demonstrates how awesome the GTR is. Best bang for you buck in the motoring world.

  • SamR

    Interesting but pointless video.

    The music was totally annoying though, too loud. You could not hear the cars. The camera angles did not show the action properly either.

    Top Gear do it far better.

  • Al

    Gee, I wonder what the result was ever going to be. What was the point of comparing such different cars (pricewise and power-output)? Also, didn’t the GTR hand it to the Veyron on the Nurburing? The veyron is an awesome machine but this comparison is absolutely stupid.

  • Flying High

    OK…why show this particular video. There are any number of videos better than this on You Noob. Why this one? Boring and pretty much pointless. I agree with the multitude of comments asking why the music was necessary and that the general film directing was attrocious.

    I wish we could give thumbs up or down to the articles on this site. This article gets a big thumb down from me.

  • Elitist

    With all respect going to the Japanese for making such a brilliant car, NOONE beats Europeans when it really comes down to making something special.

  • FrugalOne

    I am with all the others, a total stupid “test”

    EVO has just made a excuse to drive 2 fine cars [as you would!]

    Not priced the same, not powered in the same range, totally silly really.

    Rubbish music and no story to it, both TopGear and C/A Video jobs are vastly better than this rubbish

    Cheers
