  • Yes, let's compare a tuned car to a factory car. Good job Motor Trend.

  • @PiroFyre the factory 2012 GT-r goes 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds. The factory 2011 GT-R at the time the video was uploaded took 3. something seconds.

  • its pretty scary though that a 2013 gtr with 545hp did 2.8 with launch control lol

  • Silly asians :-)

  • Fast as hell..... BUT! at the end of the day its still a Nissan =( lol

  • This narrator needs to lighten up and have some god damn personality. Also, I agree that the GT-R isn't a veyron killer. However, the GTR is better, my opinion. The GTR is proof of what's technically possible today, at a low price. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to be driving around paranoid of hitting anything. The veyron is too expensive to actually use. Costs about 6 million to just make one, so it's a bargain. But still, GTR is just better.

  • 1/4 time is slower than i had anticipated. The video's name and description don't actually say it's a Veyron killer, the point of putting the question mark after it is to imply that it could possibly be with the figures it's putting out. They admit the Veyron is faster in this video, but the GT-R is a small fraction of the price. Of course most of you trolls probably didn't bother to watch the full video before blowing your top because if you did you would actually understand what it's about.

  • To end all this....

    GT-R Alpha 9 = Bang for the buck, you could buy 10 of these before you could afford a Veyron

    Veyron = Holy shit that guys got a Veyron...... What does he do for a living? Can I have a ride?

  • i wanna see them compare this car to the Venom GT 0-60 2.5sec with the corvette ZR1 engine

  • Yu-gi-oh theme music. What.. I'm the only one who noticed?

  • why do people dis like on this vid this sure was not a true statment but still they did put up a good fight with its intrusting facts

  • And yes, im aware i spelt amateur wrong.

  • Im a Video Game player with a 11.2 second ride. You can eat a dick with those fag comments. Do you even know what it takes to make a car do under 10 seconds. You think you can just bolt those kindda times to an engine? Ametures, the whole lot of ya.

  • 6cylinder beats 16cylinder

  • Plus the Veyron is ugly as hell!

  • its kind of likening it to a nuclear bomb, which you don't use very often, up against a smart bomb, which is used all the time. sure the veyron might be more super of a car, but the gtr as a real life car that you can use to go to work, and get some grins on the weekends, is the best value and the best bang for the buck.

  • Is this as luxurious while going as fast and as stabile as a Veyron while being just as easy to drive in cities?

    No?

    Then it's not a Veyron killer.

    The Veyron is so much more than just the top-speed. It's luxury, engineering and then top-speed.

  • GTR!!!!

    

  • 2:48 to 2:55 O_O imagine seein that coming your way..

  • Alpha 12 1500hp and 180g, versus 1.3mil Veyron sport, 1200 hp.

  • Very mis-leading title... Proves nothing like what dhcivic27 said.

  • holy fuck im in canada and we use kilometers.. and that spedometer would still be going pretty fast on out cars haha!

  • I would still take a ZR1 over this thing any day....

  • I was expectin a maybe mid 9sec

  • the GTR is just the best Overall car you can buy today; bang for buck, looks, feel (yes, it now has a soul), performance .. it has EVERYTHING..then if you want more, for a few thousand dollars, you can make it faster than a 2 million dollar hypercar ... this is the best car on earth

  • There's two facts here:

    1 No one posting in this comment section is ever going to own a Veyron (please prove me wrong)

    2 This GT-R comes CLOSE to the Veyron for a small fraction of the price.

    GT-R wins in my book.

  • @Tarvisse

    1 - TOTALLY agree, the only posters here will be video game players with simulated cars/

    2 - There are a number of cars out there capable of faster times, but 10.4 in a quarter of a mile shows it 4 x 4 drive train - not fast by hyper or exotic cars - look on the tube for 1/4 times you'll find reams of road cars including vettes in low 8's - and thats quite a gap.

    HAVING said that..GTR... *drools*

  • 6cylinder beats 16cylinder.

  • move over veyron theres a new king in town??!!!FUCK YOU!!!! -.-

  • @prayan12345 he mean that if u buy a 2 milion dollar car just to have better top speed (which u will never use) u r stupid xD,but i would go slower and spend my money on confort and lux and go on maserati with 110 000 euro,but thats more then this car :'((((,but american price are always 40-50% less then europe

  • Very cool. Im not a fan of the color.

  • i am huge corvette fan but this is amazing but i want them to try the corvete z06 centannial version or the new corvette 427

  • review the alpha 12,A gtr with 1500hp that's crazy.  :D

  • the veyron may have the edge in some things but the price is going to kill it..

  • damn that is suzuki hayabusa territory!!!! WELL DONE

  • okay i heard all about this car being modified but nothing nothing about wieght reduction which is a killer in the gtr

  • 2 million doller veyron is worth it becuase it is a greatly built car with jet brakes and stuff

    but id take the gtr and buy a massive house aswell:)

  • @GANG2170 Jet Brakes???

    If you mean the air brake function of the spoiler, Bugatti stole that from Ford, they used it on the GT-90. Bugatti also stole the shape of the car and the 4 turbos from the GT-90....

  • that 1/4 mile isnt really that quick considering Supra's with not that much more power are down in the 8's and still street driven. but hot diggity, this GT-R is slick.

  • well ya its faster than a stock zr1 but then again its not stock it has about 200hp more so its not really a fare fight, how bout ams or someone else do a few mods to the zr1, im sure the zr1 would stomp it then. the fact that they did all that to the gtr and its really not that much faster is kinda disappointing, sure the 0-60 is way impressive but its awd, duh

  • @stonecoldtrk lets not forget launch control either pretty much takes the fun out of the start lol

  • Veyron will shit on this car..

  • Even better witout rear wing...but The GTR it was maked for corners...not for top speed.

  • Comment removed

  • Veyron Killer? Not even close. Veyrons are made for one thing, TOP SPEED upwards of 250+ mph. This video did not prove anything against the Veyron. They need to change the title. You can get an Atom V8 that will knock this alpha out on a curb.

  • @dhcivic27 yeah it is not even close, Thrust SSC is made for top speed. Veyron? So what.

  • @dhcivic27 I agree. GTR is made to be a relatively affordable GT racing car, not for top speed competitions. It should be compared to 599 GTO or continental supersports...

  • @dhcivic27 haha fuck outta here its sad that a v6 engine whooped v8-v12 ass so fuck up with all that bullshit respect japan or change your youtube name bitch

  • Love the look of Alpha 9! no big rear spoiler.. carbon parts-- aaawwww

  • I hate hate hate hate the narration. Sounds like he is teaching geography. Jesus Christ...

  • I like how all GT-R's have the ass of a Corvette...

    btw very nicely modded GT-R to the owner. I like the the CF hood/trunk with no wing. its got that subtle sexy look.

  • Weird, at 2:37 I noticed my thighs were flexed...for no reason. This car can easily break the hands of Zeus.

  • Sometimes when its this easy, its not fun anymore. The numbers are amazing, but I'm more for the experience.

  • LOLWUT HOLY FUCK.

  • Veyron has more motor its suppose to pull passed it? Right?

  • nice car. but the comparisons they show are to STOCKKKKK cars. So i guess that 1.9 sec 0 to 60 lingenfelter vette doesnt count and isnt in veyron territory huh?????? exactly as it says.............. AFTERMARKET!!!!!

  • @TwinTrident You must be talking about a drag car. There is not a street legal car that does 0-60 in 1.9sec.

  • @350zmt06 He's talking about the Lingenfelter Vette, that on the street with DOT approved street tires really can't do a 1.97 second 0-60 time, but when it's on a fully prepped drag track with wider than normal slicks and a full burnout, it managed to do it just one time, it was never repeated.

    Which is why to me, the time is bullshit.

  • @NinjaRider777R well his point stand about aftermarket vs stock which is kinda the same point i was making, but your right too

  • Fuck red bull... GTR gives you wings

  • It hits 60, 70, and 80 so fast it's crazy... You would be over the speed limit all the time.

  • Holly shit... this car goes to 120mph like my car goes to 60...!!! what the fuck!

  • that is one sexy GTR

  • Completly absolutly sick!......only problem is i want one!

  • too bad road and track got the bugatti 0-60 in 2.46 seconds and a quarter mile of 10.2 at 144

  • @jhals07 to bad their a alpha 12 thats goes 9.875 at 170 mph.

  • @ZeroColourz i mean 8 sorry

  • @ZeroColourz 9.8 seems really slow for 170mph, with that speed it should be running 8's

  • @IxOVERKILLxI Sorry, i ment 8.975.

  • this car is to much power.............and bealeve this at the end you get bored with soe much running and running soe fast in this type of cars its great .....but you get bored.i think its better to goe for exotics cars..that peopel get looking at it even if you are not running that fast...like a ferrary f40 or a chevrolet zr1 those are exotic looking cars the nissan its not an exotic car its only for racing

  • Look at the camber :O

  • Damn, this car is faster than my internet !

  • ZR1 Would wreck the GTR stock vs stock :) have a good day GTR fans

  • @WORSTEVERR no no no not would, DOES thats why i like this vid cause they hopped up the gtr and are woot wooting about it now being faster than a zr1 without modding a zr1 too

  • GTR trolls are everywhere... LOL

  • haters are everywhere!!! Ahahahaha!

  • That's bs. It only beats the Corvette and Porsche because of the upgrades. If they were all stock it would loose, and if they were all equally upgraded it would still loose.

  • Naaaah... neva

  • This video is just retarded and made to amuse brain-dead american audience who think 0-60 is all that matters. Comparing GT-R to Veyron is a sing of stupidity and just shows that the person doing the comparison is ABSOLUTELY clueless about cars.

  • Lamborghini rules

  • a Kneesun? why cant americans say words how they are spelt lol

  • WOW the ZR1 runs 175 on a mile not far behind 189 wonder what a hennessey ZR1,000 would run a mile at lol

  • Last time I saw a speedometer move that fast I was watching Knight Rider...lol

  • Who really cares anymore what car is just that bit much faster??

    It looks like a toy...with little artistic sculpture flare....so when your paying that much i who cares...

    The "king" is who has an overall package, and its not this.

  • isn't there an alpha 12?

  • Yes, this is an old video

  • why is the 911's engine open? wtf?!?!

  • @AboveAll18 You are Wrong ... Read my previous comment to find out why you are Wrong THE ZR1 IS THE BETTER CAR , that's why it costs more , that's why 90 percent of the videos on YouTube show the Zr1 Beating the Gtr in every matchup !!! Motortrend , Road and Track , Car and driver etc So stfu next time you wanna write something stupid .... Don't .

  • But the difference is GTR's are japanese, and are meant for tuning, muscle cars can be but are not meant for it!

  • @samsite84 Are you out of your fucknig Mind ? Gtr interior better quality than zr1 ? Buhaha .... Have you even sat in a Gtr and felt how cheap the interior is ? Just because they put a Sony playstation inside does not make it better than the zr1 , it looks like a child's room with all the plastic knobs and buttons..

  • @fnfastone u are YOU out of your fucking mind? have you ever been in a ZR1 let alone SEEN one? its a well known fact that the interior of the ZR1 is terrible. Thats where chevy cut corners to release the ZR1 at the price it is listed at.

  • @TheShel8777 I don't care if its Alpha 17 or Alpha 95... You know they make vettes that make 1500 horsepower also You Peace of Shit Japanese Nut Swinger

  • At just 85k dollars with premium quality material (not cheap plastic that fall over like the Zr1 crap) GTR is the best car ever made!

  • A heavily tuned car can go quicker than stock level cars like a 911?! Wow!!

    Still bet that 911 can corner though...doubt the Americans tuning that GT-R even know what one of those is!

  • Comment removed

  • @TheFredHammer Dude, the stock GT-R is very good at cornering...tuning it heavily will just ruin that steering ability. Obviously though, you know much better, which is why somebody flagged your comment as spam. Maybe it was because you couldn't even be arsed to spell very simple words correctly?!

  • @scbonduk What are you talking about? A stock GTR killed a stock 911 around corners. Just watch this video

    /watch?v=4OTUHgTAMMU

  • @computerized01 Which is why I said the American tuned GT-R in this video you dumb shit.

  • @scbonduk didnt u hear about the susoension they even use nitrogen instead of air in the tires beacuse its more stabile its crazy attention to detail so i dont think the 911 has too much off a chance

  • @polski12200 That's the tyres, not the suspension. If you knew a single thing about cars or even physics then you'd know that more power equals less cornering (in general). Heavily modding that GT-R (especially in the American way) will mean it's fast in straight lines but useless at cornering.

  • @scbonduk i dont think saying americans cant corner count much nowadays. lately their past sports cars have been really handing it to the Europeans on tracks with corners

  • @asshatnowhere159 Oh please do feel free to prove that with facts because I'd like to see it. American cars might be getting better but I wouldn't go as far as "handing it" to not just European cars but any...I'm sure if Uruguay mass-produced a car it'd handle better than anything you guys can come up with.

  • @scbonduk facts? how about lap times does that count? check nurburgring lap tims, laguna seca laptimes, etc. recently many american car companies are begining to compete with european and japanes companies when it comes to track performance and some are doing a pretty good job of it when you consider prices. both japan and the US have a knack for giving europe a run for their money! :P also im not american if you would like to know.

  • @scbonduk the stock one does 0-60 in about 2.9 to 3.1 still much faster

  • Since when is Motor trend testing Cars tuned by the after market shops ? Might as well throw some slicks and a pulley on the Zr1 and stomp on this Jap Crap..

  • @fnfastone Like stomping an ALPHA 12 GTR? You dipshit redneck

  • What if you took away the AWD? The good numbers will be no more.

  • The Bugatti costs 2 Million for a few reasons.

    1-If that Bugatti breaks down, you bet your ass that they will bend over backwards to fix that car.

    2-While the interior of the GT-R is probably made of every light-weight material that could be harvested on Earth, The Bugatti payed no attention to lightweighting their car and still offers and extremely luxurious interior

    3- It's a Bugatti, no one will think you're hot shit when you say "dude, check out my posh Nissan".

  • @Seitzy411 lol yea but for what price haha. to just get the tires serviced, you need to send your bugatti into France and it costs 60,000 dollars. and a replacement transmission is over 120K who even wants to know the charge of the mechanic installation costs.

  • Beautiful. I paid 130,000$+tax for my Porsche turbo with techart upgrades. What's the maintenance on this GTR??

  • yes it is a veyron killer! damn its just V6 veyon has a w16 do the math

  • japanesses thechnologie if far far ahead from the rest of the world

  • Very very impressive but it is no Veyron, EVER!!! New king my fat ass.

  • yeah cool...against a stock veyron..not fair. but from 6 cylinders still fucking amazing.

  • come back when you can prove its better then veyron 100% of the time plus im sure if you put that much effort into the veyron it would make th GT-R look like a toy car

  • Beautiful car...

  • 42,000 DOLLARS for:

    ] carbon fiber hood, trunk, grille,

    spoiler delete, bigger turbo, intercooling system,

    Bovs,

    Fuel pump, probably bigger injectors as well,

    retune,

    volks rays wheels with tires coilovers/upgraded shocks,

    and stock Brembo Brakes.......

    sounds like motherfuckin bullshit if you ask me all of the parts installed into this car cant be worth more than 20-25K and i could install literally all of those parts ina matter of hours.

  • @gruneygunnar Just installing parts doesn't get you a few years worth of tuning the ECU so the whole setup won't explode....

    Plus, this isn't even the latest AMS GTR, the newest one is pushing 1500 horsepower and runs 8 second quarters.

  • @NinjaRider777R ..........they did minimal work besides the retune and are you kidding me so you're saying the simple retune is worth the other 25k? YA DONT THINK SO. this is sold to the people buying RR35's that have ashit ton of money to blow and dont know/dont care about a price tag. a reTune for even a 350z is what like 600$

  • @NinjaRider777R "WOT tuning can take a few hours, while driveability and running quality of the car can take a whole day sometimes. "yea theres a direct quote from AMS BTW

  • @gruneygunnar well I tell you a secret in life, all the parts on any car is not worth what is charged. Someone had to do the testing, engineering, and R&D. and they need to make money.

  • @nycmaster well yea someone had to develop K-pro for K20/K24 engines and that is only 1500$..the rest of the parts arent even made by them. rays wheels have been out for sooo long and the only parts that COULD be made by them is the carbon fiber. seibon carbon fiber hoods are like 500-1000$ bucks bro. all of this is overpriced but everyone has their own opinion. im just stating facts.

  • @gruneygunnar they gotta make a profit dude

  • i don't get it. Is this supposed to be impressive? people have been making 10 second cars in their garages for a while now. For example, a Mark 4 supra with the 2JZ can make 1000+ hp quite easily these days and even run into the low 9's. And that's on nearly 2 decades old technology

  • Godzilla Wins!!!

  • @QcLoic Or not?

  • seeing the veyron get beat by anything is great, all the lil wayne loving fags love it so much haha hahahaha

  • Why don't they put a twin turbo v12 in the bugatti veyron. I mean a twin turbo v12 can match the horse power in their w16 engine plus it would be cheaper to make a twin turbo v12

  • Plus if you want 2 know how fast the mile is.....25.9 sec. at 204.4 mph!

  • Simple fact mate...This ain't the new king in town!!

  • u gotta admit the Japanese just love to fuck with the Europeans.

  • @mrbigtian japanese small pennis but has big brains

  • @mrbigtian Europeans? Americans!!!

  • @TheShel8777 Japanese fuck with Euros and RAPE Americans. lol.

  • @mrbigtian In which way? European cars are light years ahead of japanese. You're just clueless and naive, and eat all the shit you're served. This GT-R is tuned beyond all limits, engine and gearbox would fall apart after 2000 miles without heavy servicing. Veyron tuned as much as this GT-R would produce over 2000hp. Not to mention Veyron is simply better in every single way, and in terms of engineering inside GT-R is a child toy. Like a heavy tuned Civic compared to Ferrari 458.

  • @mrbigtian Besides, what makes you think that japanese love to fuck with european? Japanese, unlike americans, have respect, and dont need to insult others in order to make themselves feel good. This review is typically american. It makes the car thats being reviewed look good by making fun of its competitors. Thats the american way, lots of fake pointless drama designed to entertain braindead audience. Look at some european or japanese GT-R reviews and see for yourself how its done.

  • @derbigpr500 Not to mention the fact that GT-R has so many clueless fanboys who like it because everyone else likes it, that it makes the car itself less attractive.

  • @derbigpr500 ok, good for u my boy, what ever u think is good, go buy it. No body give a single shit what u think. And please, do not insulting this GTR, if u dont enjoy this video, just leave. May u live the rest of your life in peace and have ur self a nice day...

  • Высшая инженерия.

  • GT-R killer Порше

  • I would still pick a Porsche Turbo zr1 or veyron over the nissan.

  • Fuck this shit. I'm gonna send my Veyron to a tuning shop and it will shit all over this bitch.

  • It's just as fast and looks a hundred times nicer than a Veyron. Take my money!

  • @NinjaRider777 one more time:

    3) Additionally, each time Bugatti, or a guest test engineer or Magazine test drives this car at top speed, they have take the tires off right after the test. Right!

    Do you know how many landings a commercial jet makes on one set of tires...?

    Several. Do you know the stresses those tires withstand? Thousands of times that of the Veyron tires; like I said, aircraft tire manufacturer developed these tires for the Veyron.

    ..you should stop blogging now

  • @stealth07r1 You really are an idiot, aircraft tires have a tread thickness that's thicker than a whole Veyron wheel....and those tires are only at top speed for a few seconds before they're slowed down well within safety parameters.

    Even the fastest LM racecars don't stay at top speed for very long, every racing regulation body has slowed down the cars because the speeds would tear the tires apart within 5 laps.

  • @NinjarRider777 I'll say to you again, research before speaking incorrectly.

    1) what you say does not match to the technical information I've watched in the tire

    development video for the car...keep spewing all you like.

    2) by your half assed logic, there should be a top speed log the driver is required to keep

    and if he hits 15 minutes total time at top speed, (although he never will unless on a test

    track) he has to stop driving the car! Right!

  • still dont think i'd buy a nissian for 120K even if can beat a veyron.

  • a nissian can own a veyron but i dont think someone who can afford a veyron is gonna consider buying a nissian because the nissian can beat the veyron

  • Although the Alpha 9 is extremely impressive

  • Put the two cars on the Autobahn... We'll see which one comes out on top...It won't be the Alpha 9.

  • OKay i want one!!

  • @eloyleyva ...yes ZR1 is an upgrade from ZO6, but their both from the manufacturer.

    This GTR is hardly anywhere near a manufacterer upgrade; it's the opposite.

    More than twice the factory power, completely redone tranny/driveline, etc. Hope so too, cuz we all know even the Factory GTRs have been known to grenade their own trannies.

    Your point is useless.

  • The question is: Would this car pass any state's emission standards?

  • @isukaman It's street legal, otherwise they wouldn't be advertising it.

  • @youtubarrr I haven't seen any advertisements for this setup. And even if it is advertised that doesn't mean it meets emission standards. It may be meant for racing on a track only.

    Also, there are lots of states that don't have emission inspections where it could be driven.

  • @isukaman All 50 states in the USA have emissions regulations, and all 50 states have ways around those regulations, especially if the year the car or engine was made is old enough.

    Depending on the state, 15-25 years old is old enough to be emissions exempt.

  • @NinjaRider777R Florida has no emission inspection for any car. There probably are other states that don't also.

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW NOW I MEAN NOW!!!!!!! IAM IMPRESSE

    fuck you

  • still not on par with the supra =/

  • by changing the wheels they've stripped massive handling capabilities.

    Stock GTR wheels are designed to keep the tires from coming off

  • @WeeHaScootchy Rays forged magnesium alloy racing wheels are the best money can buy. i believe they will be better than the stock GTR wheels. lighter, better heat transfer properties and rigidity

  • at about 80 miles:

    Bugatti: good bye nissan, i really like you, but i've got to go now

  • finally nissan makes a gtr to compete with the zr1. people would talk shit about the zr1 smoking a regular gtr but thats because a zr1 is like a major upgrade from a zo6. now theres a gtr with a major upgrade and the zr1 gets smoked!

  • Bugatti vejron not cost so much just because it is the fastest car but it is still hand-makes and it uses all the luxurious materials and the latest technology and screams on a more beautiful sight than 100 times but respect to Nissan to.

  • Porsche and ZR1 owners = OUCH

  • Porsche > Nissan. Check out those crappy 90's era needle-through-dial gauges.
