That Jag really has stolen my heart. One day I will get you F Type Coupe R, one day!
I'll buy you one
I just got 17 R a few weeks back and i love it! Traded in my supercharged C7 and i have no no regrets
That day has come? Already passed 7 years...
The crackle of the Jag's exhaust sold me the first time I heard it.. who cares if it's a second or so slower than a GTR, it's a bloody amazing car!
Wow, both amazing cars! Can't believe the GTR is still holding it's own after all these years. Can't wait to see the R36 GTR
There has been improvements to each model year GTR since it came out. So saying that it held it's own after all these years doesn't make sense considering how Nissan made improvements every year.
Brian Rojas While Nissan have been improving it throughout the years, we can't deny it's still an 8 year old platform, and the Jag is new. The current gen 911 (991) has upped the game, the new Turbo S and GT3 can easily surpass the current GTR. Therefore, I can't wait to see what the capabilities of the R36 is in stores.
Tonite Thats true, I heard rumors about the R36 GTR saying that it will have a hybrid set up to boost the HP output. Really looking forward to seeing how its gonna perform. Maybe it could even rival the other hybrid hypercars like the LaFerrari or P1
Tonite I'd say the R36 GTR is still few years away since they just refreshed the R35. In track times the GTR is still faster than the 991 turbo s but the turbo s is more of a GT not a track monster like godzilla.
Brian Rojas True, probably 2017 model year. The 911 turbo was the GTR's benchmark during development. The GTR is suppose to be an all around GT type car as well. Nissan wanted to match the 911T's performance, they achieved it, but Nissan could not tune a chassis/suspension with performance AND comfort like the German's do so well.
2 seconds over a 35 second lap? no competition at all......
GT-R still kicking heads like it's 2009, but that jaguar is just gorgeous
But no on can deny that a jaguar is the most beautiful of the two for sure. But of course the GT-R will always be a beast.
Always a pleasure watching Steve. I still take the Jag because the way it looks, handles and sounds like a 50cal through those pipes. The Nissan will always be a Nissan and with a ride like setting concrete on the open road, it's not for me. Happy days.
The Jag is just GORGEOUS! It's so beautiful that I don't care that Godzilla is faster.
Shut it noob
@@GoodMan-bf1ns no you shut it noob!
Agreed the GTR is a tired old design next to the Jag.
Indeed, it's just like looking at a lizard and a jaguar. :) (...and I am a cat lover:)
Being a GTR owner it's a happy video for me, but DAMN that jag is SEXY.
was never fan of jags until f type R
That Jag looks like ass and they have always been a girly sports car. Feminine body lines and now they have the same daytime running light shape as a stingray. Poooooo! GTR is aggressive looking and sick as fuuuuuu!
Stingray? The f-type was a concept car since 2003. I own a 2014 gtr, and yes its gruesome and intimidating to other racers, but I will always love jags for their vintage history and their crazy characters :)
IEATPLANETS YESIDO No need to hate.. I've seen people say the same thing about GTR. I guess they're all just opinions, and there are better ways to show your them without offending anybody :)
GT-R owner here too, pre "major" change. I would like to have more comfort such as much reduced ride harshness, interior noises. Other than that, it is a very well engineered track focused road car.
If Nissan produces a next generation GT-R, I hope it combines R35's performance with R8 or Carrera turbos' comfort.
Jaguar any day over GTR. Much more enjoyable car , happy tail , sound 100x better , looks 10000x better. No question about that.
It's not all only about speed guys, the jaguar is definitely the better looking car in my opinion and the also the better car.
The F-Type looks and sounds infinitely better.
I love that you guys actually know where to put a camera in a car. The onboard footage is excellent.
Great video. I would still pick the Jaguar over the GTR any day.
Agreed!!!!
So you like slow cars
@specialforce616 i like more how it looks and how it sounds and what people think about me so yes i take the jaguar
Come on Autocar when are you going to compare the GTR with the 991 Turbo S on that road. It needs to be done!
Car and EVO have done this comparison. On both occasions the turbo S mullered the GTR on both acceleration and track times. The Porsche was also a much nicer environment to be in compared to GTR
robleake For twice the price so it should
robleake Yes Rob you're right. But I want to see how Sutcliffe tries to explain it since he always talks about the GTR like it was God Almighty and nothing can maul it!
Well the race is no longer between gtr and the 911 turbo s, but between the gtr nismo and the 911 turbo s. When the regular gtr goes against the 911 turbo the turbo loses.
TheCa007 Isn´t the nismo supposed to be nissans hypercar. If you want a match for that the 918 is your answer.
Loved the onboard footage ^^
F Type looks + GTR performance = Best car ever.
Enter the all-new 911 Turbo S LMFAO
The price gap between the Jag/GTR & the 911 would be way too big VirusTornado
I know, but the car exists...
+VirusTornado So does the McLaren P1, which will drive circles around the 911 Turbo S.
If you compare cars, they have to be in the same approx. price range.
No no no, sorry, just no! Always take the slower lap time over the awd!
"He who shall be last, shall be sideways and smilling."
"Haven't turned the traction control off" YOU 'AVE TO HOLD IT DOWN FOR TEN SECOONDS!
ow ow oww?
Pants were shat at 1:52
And for that reason, you have to have the Jag.
Hahha
Anyone know the color of that Jaguar. I'm going to buy it.
That jag is a stunner. The key fob says it all pure class.say to someone on the street that you drive a Nissan and you know the reaction.say you drive a jag and doors open for you.
would still rather have the jaaaagg
Jaguar #FTypeR coupe is a proper sports car!!! Damn that stunning look !!!
Was the GTR's victory ever really in doubt?
Join the debate on our new show 'torque cars'. If you like it the share it:
DCG1: torque cars episode 1
No kidding,even the Jaguar knew it was going to lose to the Cheetah.
John Vu cheetah?
Did I stutter? Are you really wanting me to clarify this?
John Vu no one has ever called the GTR a cheetah.
Thanks for this video. I was having a hell of a time deciding between these cars and you've given me that last little push I needed to choose GTR.
7:38 on the back best looking car in the planet
Would be interesting to see this match up take place now with the same Jag R having all wheel drive. GTR may still squeak it out, but it's going to be close on a course.
Yes GTR is faster and higher potential but I'd take the Type R. Fantastic looking car with great performance. Also, you won't see many out there so you'll stand out a bit.
A226044 Ive seen two F-Types in 2 weeks (one red one silver) and have seen one R33 in about two or three plus MONTHS.
Thanks.
f type will definitly turn heads, id take one anyday!
Justin Vernet
Both vehicles will and do.
@@TheFunkhouser Not as much as the Jaguar
Facts, I've only seen 1 f type r since release in person. Not very common cars surprisingly.
2 seconds difference in a 35 second road? Grip and predictability are the keys to this very easy win for GTR.
Very nice review/battle. Keep´em coming please.
But that jag looks and sounds so much better :)
Both great cars :)
Jag > Nissan
Until it breaks down...
Dude, I had an XK for 5 years without a single problem, so you can take that shit and ram it.
Yeah yeah... you were lucky. The fact is British cars suck at reliability
dimekoza
Jaguar models have been MUCH higher on the JD Power list then Mercedes models these last couple of years. This is not 1990 any more ... ;-)
I have had Jaguar XKR, Jaguar XJ (new model) and a Nissan GTR R35.
The Jags are wonderful, great cars ... but for me (and that is personal) the GTR is the best, greatest car I ever owned. It is Mega, Turbo, Galactic Fantastic! :-)
(and also in the rain, in the snow and in the sun ... has 4 good useable places, huge boot ... and a hyperspace button)
Now do the same with Porsche 911(991) Turbo S vs 2014 Nissan GTR.
Really amazing how similar those two cars are in price, design and execution. AWD beasts of machines, this is no Lotus Evora, 500+ hp engines. Watching the Jaguar F Type pounce over the road while the Nissan GT-R chases it around in the woods is gold
Similar design? Are you joking? The F-type looks way better from every angle and shape.
@@vika0194 they're both heavy cars, they both have AWD, both front engine, and they have a similar size.
2014 GTR is really amazing super car !!
This price and performance are really incredible at all !!
Good comparison. These are the two 100k (US) cars I'd be most apt to buy. That is until the new Z06 comes out...
damn.... seeing these vids u can definitely see how the Nissan has built an excellent engineered car using computer to overcome the laws of physics, I mean the GTR has the same HP as the Jag, less torque, weights more. But from the vids u definitely notice that the 4wd system is giving it soooo much traction, u dont even notice any big slips from the tires at all. I mean many people including me dont like the idea of using too much computer and technology in modern sports cars, but the fact is that all manufacturers are moving towards this new trend. I mean I used to really appreciate the fact that Porsche still offered manual in some of their top range cars like GT3, but it does seem like ever since GTR came out it changed the way manufacturers approached making supercars. No need to use big V8, V12, no need to use super light and expensive materials, no need to make to look super slim to be aerodynamic. Ive gradually started to pay a lot of respect to the guys making the GTR, especially Kazutoshi Mizuno!
I'm curious to know what you are referring to when you mention 'computers', considering he did a run in the GT-R without the electronics aids
Stephen R well the 4WD system is still controlled by computers, Im not an expert in car technology. But you cant really drift the GTR like you do with other RWD cars like 458, SLS, M6, C63 even if u turn everything off. Im not really that sure, but I think the 4WD system will always be there to detect slip and traction of each wheel up to 10 times/Second no matter if you have turned everything off or not
The GTR has similar AWD system to the Mitsubishi Evo. It can dial more power to front or back and side to side. Where most AWD systems can only send power to the back, the GTR can send power to the front and to the outer wheel that is losing grip. Not many system can do that which is why it weighs so much. I don't think a Jaguar AWD system can beat the GTR because it will weight more but does not have the sophisticated AWD system of the Evo or GTR.
Awesome video, keep up the good work!!!
ここの評価はいつも信頼出来ますね。レポーターが優れている。Nissan > Jag
Best video in a while from Autocar! Loved the ESP on/off detail, the cinematography & Steve's commentary. Top notch chaps!
Take the Range Rover on that track! It would beat them all...
😱
Do it with the AWD F-Type R!
never seen a video, where the gtr could accelerate from 0-62 in just 2,7 sec.
***** They only make 0-60
it's because metric people do 0-100 kmh. 100 kmh is 62 mph. And metric is generally the dominant unit.
lol mph and km/h difference
***** What's your problem?
***** Why BMW?
just few disappointments in gt-r and f-type convertible
1. GT-R (2012) 4 months of exploitation: changed oil and gas pumps, front brakes and suspension ball joints. Also renew interior (aesthetic reason) and 9lbs of noise insulation, because the sound from the gearbox sometimes is bloody annoying. The performance wasn't as good as I expected, light forged rims, ecu tuning, armytrix exhaust (no cats) and zero resistance filters improved it significantly.
2. F-type V8 Convertible (2013) almost 3 month of exploitation: faced the brake fade as there's lack of brake system ventilation, engine overheat (typical jaguar) and the rain leaks through the tiny connection above the driver seat (fixed), interior looks well, but once you've mentioned bad stitching and leather "moving" you can't ignore that. Also be ready to stock up on set of tyres as the f-type provokes you a lot and earplugs as hearing the V8 "gargling" in the traffic jam will drive you crazy.
Verdict: bmw M6, bentley gt or 911 are the best options.
Autocar, love your channel.. watch every new post you guys upload. That said, lets see more of these type of short, closed track time trials! Brilliant! Simply one of the most entertaining ways you can compare and test two vehicles head to head!
I want that Jag! =]
Hats off to Nissan's devoted engineering that has kept expanding the potential and horizons of the GTR.
I hope the R36 GTR beats the Jag in terms of not only price and performance, but also looks and sound.
Autocar too has done a very lovely job with these amazing comparison footages.
once i underestimated GTR when i first saw it. (in real)
it was beauty and looked online what that car is. WHAT A BEAST.
BUt i will pick F-type
Keyur Pandya I reckon the GTR looks as good as the Jag tbh!
GTR looks much meatier, meaner, and sharper
We all knew that the GT-R will be quicker ,but the Jag is soooo much cooler :) Would take both if I could
the interior of the jag looks just 10x better.
Well said exactly what I was thinking before I even watched the video lol
I would have both of them totally different in every way.. the gtr is made for one thing to go round a corner quick and
And no time wasting and its brutall looking to
Jaguar is a lovely looking car love it.
But the gtr won easly not so surprised at all
Nice video..
I think everybody needs to have a spin in a Nissan GT-R, the acceleration is awesome, you feel it pressing in your whole chest. I'd have it over the Jaguar F-Type R without question.
the 2016 Jag F Type R will be all wheel drive-will be a very close match up. However, both are extremely quick. The Jag just has the presence and sound that wins me over big time. Jag will tweak the F type over the next couple of years. It's going to be a contender for a long time. For me its between the Jag R or a Carerra 4s. GTR's are cool but just don't have that classy high end refined look I'm wanting. Love the Jag and the Porsche best. Jag best for the money though
you just gotta love the GT-R
Finally they took a leaf out of the Japanese from Best Motoring using the "Touge" to get a feel of the car's handling. Nice work Autocar. love your videos!
9yrs ago I'd pick GTR, now i want the Type R
Both cars are amazing , the jaguar have more luxury , the gtr have more smart power
This GTR’s color is very nice.
My British friend just bought the Jaguar F-type convertible V8 ..gosh the engine sounds and its a beauty ..i bet it can beat the Nissan GTR
Why don't more people film cars like this? The speed is visible, it's tangible, it's car filming done right.
I guess we all have to accept the fact that the GTR is a milestone in automotive history and made other manufacturers go back to drawing boards and calculators like no other car has. I'm sure it will be dethroned by something else in the future, but the punch it delivered will be one to be remembered for many years to come.
99% of the viewers cant afford GTR
bellend
so right ....I can't even afford GTI so let go the GTR lol
travis browne and antonio silva could :))
You're an idiot. GTR's are NOT even that expensive. Completely affordable if you have a decent 6 figure job and aren't a dumbass with your money.
RyanSlays yeah right troll..
because every one has a 6 figure salary,and is a car nut.
what was the average salary again ? :)
If you do a time trail, obviously the gtr would be quicker, it's a absolutely brilliant car with four wheel drive so grip is an never ending story. But do you do time trails every day? I don't think so. I'd get the Jag every day of the week.
That the GTR is more than 2 seconds faster over such a short course is amazing.
Add a Turbo S, Stingray, R8 V10 Plus, And a M6, And this review would be perfect.
Gtr Nismo Vs Porsche 911(991) turbo S , will be a nice comparison.
omg i was hopeing so much someone would these two cars up against each other!! thank you so much!! dream car for when i really start to save up!!!
First things first, I'm a massive fan of both cars so there's is no way I'm going to say anything negative about either of them.
The F-type coupe is also available in AWD, would be pretty interesting to run that against the GTR. Running a RWD against an AWD is pretty unfair, especially if your up against Godzilla :P
F-type AWD vs GTR AWD thumbs up if you too would like to see that happen!!!
Finally a journalist who can actually drive not to mention smart script here
Who is this guy.?
- he can drive.
2 sweet rides, nice test.
That Jaguar looks fantastic, but I didn't even expected that it will be fast as GT-R. On this type of road, car with engine in front and rear wheel drive don't have any chance compared to AWD...
Yes is its down to speed and track time and of course the GTR is going to win, but as an all rounder its gotta be the Jag, that V8 sound is spine tingling. Beautiful car
That two car really is a monster
This is at longcross chertsey test track! Only drove an audi r8 there last week
Great video guys! Really enjoyed this! Steve is brilliant!
GT-R please- and in that color!
Good video, but kind of bias isn't it? Putting an awd car against a more powerful rwd car on a course with not straights and very sharp turns. It's kind of a no brainer. The awd will win because the Jag can't hook up. Now take them both to a real track and lets see what happens.
If the GT-R can pull a 2 second lead on a 30 second track, imagine the lead on a 1 minute track, then times 8 again for the Nurburgring.
z gtr is almost better than anything go head to head wit it... you name it.
A closer test would be a C7 Corvette vs the F-Type. Though the Corvette is MUCH cheaper than the F-Type it is just as fast and more composed in the corners.
The driver of this video. You is my new super hero. I like the way you drive and give good car reviews. You don't favor one car more then others. Can you make a video teaching how to drift.
I can't wait for the Maserati Alfieri.
I would go for the F-type, but r the F-type V6S cabrio. I did a test drive in the F-type V6S coupe and just felt in love with looks and the soundtrack. In a coupe you enjoy the noise even more and have the sun and wind in your hair. Can't affort 1 now but I will buy a second hand 1 in 10-15 years.
The GTR is a phenomenal car: the speed it can deliver for the price, amazing; but not what I'm looking for. Sat in GTR and didn't like the interior at all. Maybe the speed could have changed my thoughts but didn't have the luckk to enjoy that part yet.
What I look for in a car is good looks and fast nice ride, shouldn't be the fastest of the bunch because I'm not a racing driver anyway, I would get cocky and crash it.
BTW: I have to admit I doubted the reliability of jaguar as well, but my father owns a XF for 5 years now. Never had any problems, the Mercedes he had before was constantly broken....
I don't care how many people say how good the GTR is but the fact is people who drive them are mad people (probably been to a psycho unit at 1 stage and are maybe a gangster). The car is to clinical and unlike Ferrari's, Lamborghini's or Mclaren's, it has a boring non crazy design like a supercar should. The jag on the other hand doesn't need it because it's not meant for that, it's not its character which means it fits in well:) it's great looking and has an optional v6 or v8 and best of all is that it's European and that means it is good quality (not being racist) but everyone knows Japanese stuff is cheap.
Samuel Johnston, You will like this...but I think I would still take the F-type!
I just love the way all of these "keyboard experts" make their pronouncements about the merits and characteristics of these expensive sports cars, when 98% of them have never driven any of them. And they're so adamant and insulting when someone-another poser-disagrees with them. LOL! All they do is parrot what they read and hear on-line.
Gtr's performance + jaguar f type's class and status = perfect car
Be interested to compare the AWD F-Type that followed with the equivalent year GTR.
Great driving, Mr. Sutcliffe!
Come on, who in their right minds would spend £80K on a 2014 GT-R, in fact i have never seen a 2014 GT-R on the road. Its a 8 year old design, you can pick up an early one which looks the same for £30K.
F-type on the other hand is fast enough for 99.9% of buyers and wipes the floor in terms of desirability and looks inside and out. one went past me in town today and every one stopped to look at it.Stunning car for the price
The Nissan GTR & the Jaguar F type R Coupe are both quick cars. Probably, out of the (2) cars I would pick the Jaguar.
But I would not drive either of them, simply because the vehicle I would choose would be somewhat less expensive, and yet more power, better driving dynamics, quicker, and look decidingly cooler than either the Jag or the GTR.
The new mighty 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Z06...what a competitor!!
No car can take on the GT-R at it's price range.
If I was given the chance to have one of them I would go for the GT-R.
The F type looks amazing and it is a very, very good car for fun, whilst the GT-R is a going fast and not sideways type of car. It's no nonsense.
I am no fanboy, and i do realize the GT-R has some age by now, but if we look at it from another angle, the porsche has had 90% of it's styling unchanged since it was launched and people still love it.
Regarding the 911 turbo S vs the Nissan, they are not in the same price range, and one is a track car whilst the other is a GT car in my point of view.
Beautiful driving matched by equally beautiful footage and of course the stunning F-Type. Now what was that other car again?
Nice..very nice review, and good driving also. In my opinion, it is just a matter of tastes, both cars are superb... Jaguar has made good progress, and I think this is just the beginning.
Steve, when are you going to come get on Twitter??
I know I should but the GTR ,its good looking & not to mention faster and better at the corners but if given an option I would buy the jag F type cause it has the best "voice" I have hear in any 6 cylinder car(or any other for that matter).The only other car with such a great noise is the eagle speedster. FYI my childhood car was a Skyline GT
The Jags have come a long way and are really nice looking good cars, but looks like the poorer man's Aston. For me it will always be the GTR that comes out on top. Someone did mention the 911 though. Now that's one car that would top my overall list most days of the year, but it's a different price range. Good review.
Did i miss the part where they said 'which is the most fun to drive?'
2 of my most favourite sports cars that im most likley to own. great video
I love both of these cars!! But that sound that the jag makes is just brutal!! I'll have the hardest time trying to figure out which one!
What a good honast review, well done the jag is so nice but if you cant use the power then why buy the r version? Im very fortunate to own a GTR & drive it in London & its no more of an issue then any other car & IT always puts a smile on my face
ill take one of each...they're both fantastic
What a stupid dangerous place to race at.. But very realistic :D Should do more races here. Since nobody drives on a track
