True. The best one though was the cornering test. It wasn’t about how fast you can go round but how much the back end sticks out when you’re doing it i.e. the less traction & grip the better. Hilarious. Presumably a 1970s American muscle car would beat them both comfortably
will the real gtr stand up? loool we all know who the king is. Everyone hates it for it's technology.. Godzilla doesn't need to stand up for anyone or anything. Godzilla is one of the most iconic cars in history. Godzilla already left it's mark. Godzilla doesn't need to get judged by these flimsy biased reviewers. Godzilla is Godzilla and it doesn't give a shit about you.
Nismo gtr destroys Mercedes. This one could have. I believe they didn't push the gtr to it's limits in the drag race. Nismo would definitely destroy Mercedes gtr
@@gerti8308 gt r pro is also in a different league, it was recently released whereas the nismo is mainly 2018. Try the GT-R50 by italdesign. Makes the gt r pro look like a shxtbox. Stop trying to outclass the gtr nismo with basically a supercar lol 🤣 if you're gonna say something destroys the nismo at least bring up a car in the same league but does it better lol you must be knew to the car scene. If you would've said the dodge demon destroys it then I would agree. But the gt r pro is basically a track supercar
First off, the AMG GTR should face Nissan GTR NISMO and AMG GT face Nissan GTR. And yea... when the GTR is better off the line, you guys conveniently decided to make it a rolling start. Hmmmmm........... nice try.
"The most powerfull AMG in history"....emhhh no it's not...the SL65 AMG black series, the S65 AMG, the SLS AMG black series, the new S63 and the new E63 S are all more powerfull....
So they gave the track focused AMG every advantage they could cook up and it barely beat the softer, more refined version of the REGULAR GT-R from Nissan? . . . this represents why I've stopped watch car reviews. TRASH!
Bro the other gt s from amg would lose but this is gtr vs gtr the amg is not the track focused one that would be the amg gt black series so if u want both track focused ones to head to head the amg would win by an even bigger margin 😂
which one is faster? Benz Which one looks better? Benz (oh my fucking god!!!) Which one is more capable? Benz Which one is made in Japan? Nissan GTR XD
Mask Fal false on every step. Godzilla would run circles around the merc. The merc looks like hot dookie and the awd drive makes the nissan 10 times better. Also they had to put the tuned top spec version of the merc vs a base model nissan. You know nothing about cars so dont pretend like you do
What are you smoking? The NISMO GT-R is more expensive than the AMG GT R. Maybe you are thinking of the Camaro ZL1 1LE which beats the NISMO GT-R on track for less than half it's price.
That doesn't really change the point. The AMG GT R has beaten the NISMO on several tracks, and directly in a MT comparison. The standard ZL1 is faster on track than the standard GT-R.
wonder why you didn't use the top spec GT-R Nismo against the top spec AMG to make it a representative test? then the price gulf wouldn't have been as much as well. probably should've done that.
This review is stupid, there should be the gt-r nismo, not the normal one against the AMG gt-r, of course the normal gt-r is going to loose against the most powerful of the gt series!
So the brand-new, top-of-the-line Merc GT R goes about toe-to-toe with the real, standard GT-R that's been on sale for 10 years and has its ESC engaged... What an achievement.
@@shshh-fw9eh Amg black series came out with a time of 6:43 around nurburgring which is 25 seconds faster than nismo. Everybody knew that black series was coming out so saying the Merc was top of the line is straight up retarded. The Amg is now the FASTEST track production car in history.
Lol look at carwows video on their race the amg still won plus my dad owns a amg gtr and raced his friend with a Nissan GT-R and one standing still the Nissan only gets a Ed off the jump but then the amg pulls away
Still love the TRUE NISSAN GT-R !! More cheaper, more fun and many aftermarket part can be install inside that Godzilla You can't steal the glorious name of 'GT-R' because it has a lot of story, history and experience !!
Still would take the Nissan GTR. It's cheaper to buy, maintain, and gas up. The Merc looks great and sounds awesome, but in terms of money and reliability, I'd get the Nissan. Also you get performance in the Nissan that could compete with other high end super cars for cheaper.
"We'll just use the top of the line for the newer car and use the base model on the old car, heck lets not do launch control so its fair for the AMG" Y'all are clowns.
Both have similar price, power, lap times, quarter mile times, and both only offer easymode automatic transmissions. Why not compare them? Are you just mad because the Nissan narrowly looses on nearly every metric?
The GTR sent the German and Italian performance car manufacturers back to the drawing board in 2009. Ferrari engineers said it is impossible to make a car to do what the GTR does. They tried everything in 10 years to counter this car with some success. They had 8-10 years and they still cannot make “a much better car” apart Porsche and some HyperCars... even those are just half a second faster and other small performance differences. THEREFORE GHE GTR IS A BETTER CREATION OF THE AUTO INDUSTRY!
This test is made on purpose to void the AWD difference and efficiency of the Nissan GT-R, the tests executed ARE ridiculously BIASED and this is a JOKE. In real life the Nissan GT-R would destroy the Mercedes in a straight line because of traction and more efficiency but the idiots conducting the test decided to start a roll on accelaration ? WTF a joke! Another test is in a curb while removing the traction control, they awarded the Mercedes the victory driving in a curb ?? with no traction control ? WTF ? Stupid in real world again the Nissan GT-R would destroy the Mercedes driving FAST in a curb. This is ridiculously biased against the Nissan GT-R who is clearly the superior vehile costing HALF the money. POOR journalism if you ask me... Nicolas Tetrault, M. Sc.
In real life roll race (highway acceleration) is much more useful than 0-10000000 acceleration.... And second thing, go sit in Nissan and after that go sit in Mercedes, not everything is about speed, there is emotion and feel that V8, RWD, quality and luxury gives you.... I just miss the days when people actually felt emotion of cars, now they just wanna see 0-62mph (0-100mph) in 2 seconds, this world is going bad way and I am sad because of it
Mazder_. The Nissan can definitely be used as a daily driver fo sho...You mentioned a McLaren which definitely is not a daily driver. Not only that but you can only go to a McLaren dealer to get your car fixed.. They made it that way so they can get you coming and going.
Yes Nissan GTR is very good car, but man it is overhyped, 10 years later I still don't get why people make so much noise about it. Its just toooooo boring, 99% of it is computer...

Nissan: Includes capable awd system Reviewer: Ensures the GT-R does not benefit from it during performance testing I personally think both cars are boring and ugly but lets be real that was blatantly bias.
Most powerfull amg ever made? The amg gtr has 585ps (577hp) But there are more powerfull amg's.. 1 sl65 amg : 620 hp 2 E63 Amg S : 612hp 3. S65 amg : 612 hp (same with g65 ) So no, its not the most powerfull amg BUT its one of THÉ best and coolest one's!!!
very bias. The Nismo GTR is the one that should be compared to this Mercedes AMG GTR. But in the end That was a 10 year old Nissan. Nissan GTR > AMG GTR. German cars break down easily like an old person getting sick too easy.
I agree they should have used the NISMO GT-R, but the results really would have been the same. The NISMO is still slower on track than the AMG, and less exciting to drive.
What a bad review! "Why did you not take the nissan wheels off? That way the merc would win, no problem!!" You can buy 2 Nissan for the price of the merc. About the warranty, you only lose the warranty if you drift the car. Sliding the car is not drift. Never seen a car review with so many dislikes... LOL
So the AMG is almost a decade younger and has 2 extra cylinders and only just beats the a regular r35 in a rolling start drag race taking away its AWD and launch control advantages. Just shows how ahead of its time the R35 was back then. Imagine if Nissan added 2 more cylinders and a "thunderous" sounding exhaust to the GTR.. The AMG would be left wondering how to put socks on caterpillars.
RWD is my thing , the Benz looks mean. Engine looks like it's sitting behind the axles, interior is quality and ur getting a 4.0L V8-TT. SOLD. I've drove a tuned GTR and it was insane. The grip , sound , and power was something I never forgot
The Nissan GTR is like Apple Watch or Android Watches, young and ambitious. Then the AMG GT R is just like any Swiss made luxury smart watches, heritage and refined. It's just the matter of fact where do you want to spend your money on, something that would do the job? or something alot more expensive that would do the same job.
People are actually mad that the 10 year old Datsun lost to the track monster and brand new AMG GTR? THAT'S your take away? This only proves how capable and ahead of its time Godzilla was/is to still be competitive at this level. Take pride in that accomplishment instead of whining about perceived bias. Both great machines.
Great video, but Lets put a Nismo GTR Against the Mercedes-AMG that is how it should be TESTED. MAYBE THE EURO'S ARE AFRAID - RACE CAR TO RACE CAR!!!!!!!
Mercedes AMG GTR (stock) Nurburgring Laptime: "7:10" with just stock street tires, RWD and not even with a professional racing driver is only 2 seconds slower than the stronger GTR Nismo with AWD and 600PS and faster than any Ferrari or Porsche except 918, any questions? Dont cry Datsun/Nissan Fanboys :)
Samet Tikiz 2sec slower but cost almost twice wow..

Why not a real drag test? That was pretty lame... Pretty much lying by omission, I'd take it the GTR would smoke the AMG in a real drag test? Did Mercedes contractually forbid a real drag race vs the GTR? Yeah I guess that wouldn't be very prestigious, getting left in the dust of a car costing half as much...
It's this Joke? So..... the Mercedes' lauch control must be horrible then, if your starting a race on second to avoid getting smoked right off the line. Both are formidable cars obviously but when you take a brand new car and still have to fudge a race so that the AMG wins agains a 10year old Skyline and still almost lose there is a problem. Smh...
Boot doesn’t matter? I regularly use the Nissan for WE trips with a friend. Did anyone try to fit 2 persons, their full luggage and two golf bags in the merc - no way! Same comment for any lambos, Ferraris, audi R8s...
I cant check the idea of the test. Im starting to comment before watching the video, because of the headline. But why you use a GT R and a usal GTR to compare. Best performance by mercedes against 2nd GTR. Should use the fucking Nismo for fair competition. All the test are paid as fuck.
0:15 That misalignment on the truck of the AMG GTR is unforgivable, and they charge more than double the price of the standard AMG GT for this. Well done Mercedes, well done.
Daniel Maia it's not misaligned it's just the way the tail lights are designed. Take a good look at 0:10 to see the left side from farther away but filmed close from that angle it really looks bad.
I like this channel but these tests were useless. The nissan couldn't take off traction control due to warranty so it lost. Then you eradicated the point of that traction in the next test by doing a rolling start, so it lost again. Then you measure the noise of an 140k AMG thats naturally aspirated expecting it to be competition to a 70k v6 that has turbochargers reducing the noise. I don't really care about either car but review wise it makes no sense. lol
There is a reason why the GTR is 10 years old ..well with competition finally catching you got to Wonder why other manufactures have built cars to beat the Nissan. I guess their business model is simple too, build a vehicle to rival European cars and keep the price down , you have to wonder why this car is a sellout
Drag race roll???? Lol what?? not a GTR fan boy but it seems they made this video to promote the amg gtr, Nissan GT-R is worth half it will kill the amg gtr in a real drag and they didn't use the black or track edition it's premium the nismo would embarrass the amg even worse
i find it very hard to believe that if you turn off TC in a Nissan GTR your warranty becomes invalid. In fact that wouldn't make any since and could be brought up in court if it were true. The Nissan Has a button to turn off TC... and thus is designed with that feature. In fact as a Nissan owner, in my owners manual it gives me instructions on how to turn off TC. So they can't invaladate a warranty for using a product as intended.
The Nissan is just plain ugly, never been a big fan of the car despite its performance, like Clarkson said, the car is soul less. Will take the AMG any day.
Let me get this straight. You turned off the Nissan GTR's launch control to level out the playing field...so the Merc could win by a pubic hair? lol!
He had to. It was of course....a god against a mere mortal amg engine.
@@theuncannyepicurean wrong. Its b/c 4wd vs rwd
Even with launch control the Nissan loses. Check the results at carwow

1 sl65 amg : 620 hp
2 E63 Amg S : 612hp
3. S65 amg : 612 hp (same with g65 )
So no, its not the most powerfull amg
BUT its one of THÉ best and coolest one's!!!
very bias. The Nismo GTR is the one that should be compared to this Mercedes AMG GTR. But in the end That was a 10 year old Nissan. Nissan GTR > AMG GTR. German cars break down easily like an old person getting sick too easy.
I agree they should have used the NISMO GT-R, but the results really would have been the same. The NISMO is still slower on track than the AMG, and less exciting to drive.
What a bad review!
"Why did you not take the nissan wheels off? That way the merc would win, no problem!!"
You can buy 2 Nissan for the price of the merc.
About the warranty, you only lose the warranty if you drift the car. Sliding the car is not drift.
Never seen a car review with so many dislikes... LOL
I love the Mercedes-AMG GT R's style
So the AMG is almost a decade younger and has 2 extra cylinders and only just beats the a regular r35 in a rolling start drag race taking away its AWD and launch control advantages.
Just shows how ahead of its time the R35 was back then. Imagine if Nissan added 2 more cylinders and a "thunderous" sounding exhaust to the GTR.. The AMG would be left wondering how to put socks on caterpillars.
Nissan GTR = the real GTR this new mercedes thing is nothing in front of the GTR
kostas pavlidis mercedes has earlier in 1998 a mercedes clk gtr..
RWD is my thing , the Benz looks mean. Engine looks like it's sitting behind the axles, interior is quality and ur getting a 4.0L V8-TT. SOLD. I've drove a tuned GTR and it was insane. The grip , sound , and power was something I never forgot
AMG GTR lovely.....
The Nissan GTR is like Apple Watch or Android Watches, young and ambitious. Then the AMG GT R is just like any Swiss made luxury smart watches, heritage and refined. It's just the matter of fact where do you want to spend your money on, something that would do the job? or something alot more expensive that would do the same job.
You make the tests easier for the Mercedes and it wins? What a surprise!
People are actually mad that the 10 year old Datsun lost to the track monster and brand new AMG GTR? THAT'S your take away? This only proves how capable and ahead of its time Godzilla was/is to still be competitive at this level. Take pride in that accomplishment instead of whining about perceived bias. Both great machines.
Amg gtr is a beast 😍👌
Great video, but Lets put a Nismo GTR Against the Mercedes-AMG that is how it should be TESTED. MAYBE THE EURO'S ARE AFRAID - RACE CAR TO RACE CAR!!!!!!!
Mercedes AMG GTR (stock) Nurburgring Laptime: "7:10" with just stock street tires, RWD and not even with a professional racing driver is only 2 seconds slower than the stronger GTR Nismo with AWD and 600PS and faster than any Ferrari or Porsche except 918, any questions? Dont cry Datsun/Nissan Fanboys :)
Samet Tikiz lol the GTR fan girls are gonna kill them selves! 😂😂
uhhh
i dont see your point if its still slower.
LOL
Samet Tikiz and if its rwd?
Adodoes Exactly ahaha RWD has way more of an advantage around a track over AWD too , I really don't see his point lol
Samet Tikiz 2sec slower but cost almost twice wow..
Why not a real drag test? That was pretty lame... Pretty much lying by omission, I'd take it the GTR would smoke the AMG in a real drag test? Did Mercedes contractually forbid a real drag race vs the GTR? Yeah I guess that wouldn't be very prestigious, getting left in the dust of a car costing half as much...
AMGGGG😍😍😍💕💕
Miran Ertemiz Nissan 😍
I'd sooner walk......
It's this Joke?
So..... the Mercedes' lauch control must be horrible then, if your starting a race on second to avoid getting smoked right off the line.
Both are formidable cars obviously but when you take a brand new car and still have to fudge a race so that the AMG wins agains a 10year old Skyline and still almost lose there is a problem.
Smh...
the merc wins cuz the race is staged
Boot doesn’t matter? I regularly use the Nissan for WE trips with a friend. Did anyone try to fit 2 persons, their full luggage and two golf bags in the merc - no way! Same comment for any lambos, Ferraris, audi R8s...
Mercedes the best ❤
I cant check the idea of the test. Im starting to comment before watching the video, because of the headline. But why you use a GT R and a usal GTR to compare. Best performance by mercedes against 2nd GTR. Should use the fucking Nismo for fair competition. All the test are paid as fuck.
0:15 That misalignment on the truck of the AMG GTR is unforgivable, and they charge more than double the price of the standard AMG GT for this.
Well done Mercedes, well done.
Daniel Maia it's not misaligned it's just the way the tail lights are designed. Take a good look at 0:10 to see the left side from farther away but filmed close from that angle it really looks bad.
Daniel Maia good spotting
it's not misaligned , are you blind ?
good spotting
Daniel Maia are you simply stupid or you just wanted to act as ?...
I like this channel but these tests were useless. The nissan couldn't take off traction control due to warranty so it lost. Then you eradicated the point of that traction in the next test by doing a rolling start, so it lost again. Then you measure the noise of an 140k AMG thats naturally aspirated expecting it to be competition to a 70k v6 that has turbochargers reducing the noise. I don't really care about either car but review wise it makes no sense. lol
Steve Sutcliffe, Chris Harris and Jethro Bovingdon are the best car journalist in the world. Period.
":-)
There is a reason why the GTR is 10 years old ..well with competition finally catching you got to Wonder why other manufactures have built cars to beat the Nissan. I guess their business model is simple too, build a vehicle to rival European cars and keep the price down , you have to wonder why this car is a sellout
Drag race roll???? Lol what?? not a GTR fan boy but it seems they made this video to promote the amg gtr, Nissan GT-R is worth half it will kill the amg gtr in a real drag and they didn't use the black or track edition it's premium the nismo would embarrass the amg even worse
What a joke comparing a piece of shit Nissan to a Mercedes AMG.
What a joke thinking that because a car is more expensive means its better. You know literally nothing about cars
i find it very hard to believe that if you turn off TC in a Nissan GTR your warranty becomes invalid. In fact that wouldn't make any since and could be brought up in court if it were true. The Nissan Has a button to turn off TC... and thus is designed with that feature. In fact as a Nissan owner, in my owners manual it gives me instructions on how to turn off TC. So they can't invaladate a warranty for using a product as intended.
All these 10 year old gtr fanboys mad asf
Fkd honestly lol
Fkd gtr fanboys are the worst
Fkd lul
Fkd Not mad at all..but...they should have used the Nismo GTR..to be fair
when nissan gtr vs merc in bathurst you merc fanboys are all quite because merc is left for dead
The Nissan is just plain ugly, never been a big fan of the car despite its performance, like Clarkson said, the car is soul less. Will take the AMG any day.
yes /////AMG
The most powerful amg of all time??? Wtf?!?! Even the old S65 made 612 hp in 2007. Get the info right or gtfo
