Does Audi R8 better than Nissan GT-R?

British magazine Autocar has recently put two rather incomparable cars in a head-to-head battle. Why are they incomparable? Because one is the almighty Nissan GT-R, and the other is a tiny Audi A1 Quattro.


The Nissan, as you know, is powered by a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with more than 500 horsepower; the Audi meanwhile packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 256 horsepower, which is half of the GT-R’s total output.


Don’t underestimate the little A1 Quattro’s capabilities, because it was actually able to beat the GT-R on the wet track. We don’t know what kind of tires both cars were using, but there is something odd about the final result.
