Yeah Idk, all that GTR needs is a tune. But even stock its good. Its amazing cause it did a fast 0-60, it stopped 1ft longer than a 911 with CARBON CERAMIC rotors/brakes, and did a great Nurburing lap time
It can be due to many things. Nothing is broken. People just don't understand what that light means and assume something is broken. It's literally a warning.
I'm pretty far in my Japanese so I can translate some things. The Audi R8 V10 had to retire because of powersteering failure, and the GT-R overheated at the end of the race. Keiichi Tsuchiya drove the Gallardo with ESP off at the beginning but when he had a mistake in one corner he turned the on ESP to Sport Mode
Use to be I remember when they first came out, the 2011's and so on fixed the issue now you can launch as my has you want and track it without issues :)
I think I saw one of the comments that said there was a problem with the ventilation or something with the 5.2 R8 and its driver had to retire because of the smell of the cabin. It said that the retirement was caused by the judgement of the driver of the 5.2 R8.
Well I agree with you on the fact that you can easily mod the GT-R to be much more faster, I'm concidering getting a used one by the end of this year, perhaps a 2008 model, just looking for a deal below $50K.
The Gallardo was showing a LOT of understeer. The P-Zero Corsa tires may improve lap times, but make the car run like this. The most interesting car to watch in this race was the R8 V8, Seiiji Ara this time showed why he's a Le Mans champion, instead of fooling around. He has some experience with the R8 though, he owns one.
@MaxwellReviresco driver does help. nur times are a general indication. it was very obvious that the gtr was easily lapping the track better and more stable with more grip than the lambo. if the race just just between them the tuned gtr i most likely would have won. esp looking at the grip levels.
to wrap it up, Gallardo LP560-4 is good on the straight, GTR is good on the corner, R8 V8 manage to catch up like the GTR, Exige is light, R8 V10 disappeared once in last place
None of you noticed at the end on the straight, the GTR overheated and the computer stepped in to limit boost and rpms while the R8 behind almost caught it to the finish.
The most impressive car in this race was actually the R8 V8, it has more about a 100hp less and alot less torque than the GT-R, yet it finished 2nd in the time attack sheet!! some may argue that the GT-R is heavier, indeed but not by much and it has a lightning fast shifting automated gearbox with launch control, other people will say "but the GT-R is cheaper..", the 2012 GT-R costs $100k, the 2012 R8 V8 about $115k, I would gladly get the R8, why? beauty and exclusivity!
@SergeiSerskov actually if you look in all drag races between R8 v10 and the lp560 the audi won, by a very tinny difference but won. Anyway both cars are almost the same, i and most drivers prefer r8 because it is more comfortable to drive and you can use it on your normal life, mean use for go to the job or anything else. There is a price difference but when you go to buy a car like this you probably don't care a lot with that. So both cars are awesome, tinny and the same engine.
@onefouronezero here is the question. Why is the v10 r8 slower then v8 ? I am thinking that it may be becouse the drivers... Its kind of hard to me to find an explenation why a 510 bhp r8 is slower then 400 bhp r8. Or maybe becouse this track is mosly combined of 2 gear corners and has no long straights ? Proboly on fuji or suzuka the results would be completly diffrent. I am guessing 1. Lambo 2. r8 v10 3.GTR 4.Exige 5.r8 v8
THe R8 here has a 5.2L V10 from a Gallardo. The GT-R has a V6. I would rather get the Nissan because it is the pinnacle of performance motoring engineering.
but there is a reason that you should buy a R8 instead of GT-R, R8 has much FUN to drive. It is not only a German engineering, it also has the passion from the Italian from the V10.
Yes the car gets the job done for you, thats the problem, no clutch means you dont have full control or feel of the car. If you're a real driver you want a drivers car
@ALOUY15 Nope you're wrong. They take every single race very seriously. At the moment he made a mistake, he was probably pushing hard on the limit and ESP activated, which ended up with an sudden unexpected movement of the back end. To prove that, he turns all the electronic aids off after that mistake and it made him even faster.
@rocket91940 the v10 is simply faster on a track, you can read it on MANY magazines, watch videos....theres nothing to deny. ....btw this video is there to show that "their" gtw is the best^^ kinda advertising, but the gtw IS great in fact xP
dude the sr20det rb20det rb25det and rb26detts are all magic! i LOVE german cars more than anything... just my preference but nissan motors are some of the best in the entire world you are right about that! BUT i HATE HATE all the computer controls in the GTR takes the driver out of the driving... i want audi quattro in a gtr with no tq control and power output control and just drive the hell out of it! but i also agree its not a "super car" just a great and needed fast ass japanese answer
still waiting on then to whip out the v-spec. I wonder why they keep denying its chance here at the circuit ..is it to good? would it make all the other cars seems just ordinary? whatsup with that
+Alkhoholic yup, Tsukuba is a short course by comparison, so spoon cars can beat big ass exotic cars. It is a kind of fun to tune :) It is said quite often evo and wrx are eternal rivals, I cant disagree but actually evo is similar to GTR R35, the computer helps a lot. Wrx is more street race type, it's not fast like Evo, more controllable to drivers, it can give drivers driving pleasure. So evo can beat wrx on big courses like Suzuka, Fuji, but in terms of short circuits, wrx is more fun.
I really wanted to find out the difference between the R8 V10 and R8 V8 on the track. Does anyone know any sources where I could find such information?
Well I have had three sports cars before, all daily driven. my conclusion? rear seats are not really a factor when buying a "Supercar", you -most likely- will not use your Supercar daily, you will take the SUV to work and the Supercar on weekends, I agree though that a couple of times those rear seats were handy to me. Again I had "Sports cars" such as a 2007 Mustang GT not "Supercars"
R8 Spider however looks better than both. Depends what you want, a sexy looking soft top V10 that will attract attention everywhere or a V6 weapon that is full of computers and is a Nissan.
The GTR is really up there with all the supercars, there are thousands of videos on youtube to prove it. The reason that the GTR is cheaper is because Nissan wanted to give the world an affordable car that can compete with cars 2-3 times more expensive and surpassed it. At the end of the day, the reason people buy Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos is 1, they can afford those silly prices and 2, badge snobbery. But what you will find also is rich petrol heads do buy GTR's
That R8 V8 with Manual Trans. Looked really like its fun to drive... And I dont know why...Tsuchiya is a great driver amd he's the Drift King but we all know he cant drives Lamborghinis...I cant belive that :(
I don't know, it just don't feel right when the Lambo is not manual. Feels like he can't control the Lambo fully. I believe he can drive almost most of the car. Seen him drive GT3 too.
@bttawfiq the gtr is more practical, it has a better fuel economy, R8 is also available with a dual-clutch transmission, gtr is alot faster with a real racing driver (nurburgring times), and cheaper etc.. if i wouldn't buy the gtr I'd go for the lambo for various reasons
they are all prety good the lambo is made for acceleration the nissan GT-R is made for handling i think.... the audi R8 is made for speed the lotus is just... a regular sports car not too bad
Stuff track days in super cars. Keeping up with 911's etc in a hot hatch is way more fun, with less worry about binning it. The R8 Spider is the only Audi I'd own, the rest are plain boring.
i lvoe both cars, i think the audi has its own luxury style, but i think the GT-R looks like a monster. you cant really say one looks better than the other because ones japanese and ones german
And yet I would have an R8 in a heartbeat over a GTR, because of how it sounds, how it looks. Looks, sounds and smells are as important as ability in cars. My dream car? The recent Alfa Romeo 8C - shit car, but I know I'd feel ten times better about driving that to the shops, or commuting to work, than I would in a GTR. And that's the point. The whole point in my opinion.
I should have separated that into two statements. Its a Nissan commercial because it got alot of the video and BMI/ Hot Version sticks that car in everything. Then Tsuchiya always wins would have been the second one.
the nissan is awesome, but it takes the driver out of driving... to much computer in it for my liking... to much torque control and computer distributes power to the wheels that need it most... yes its an awesome concept but at the same time its just so much fun turning off that traction control in that r8 and just taking it to its limit with its amazing quattro awd system. plus the v8 model has such a reliable motor you could put 500k miles on that sucker. both awesome cars tho
Jeez... this was 12 years ago now. I remember when these cars were pretty much new. Time flies so fast.
I wonder how the latest audi and bmw models would compare with the 911
Im impressed with the driver of the R8 V8 and his perfect rev matching
5:19 I love that "click" sound from the H-shifter ^^
Gated manuals are so nice
Viper! Love your videos
The r8 shifter feels like garbage :( It looks so nice but I'm very underwhelmed by how they feel
R8はトータルバランスがすばらしいね！クールでお洒落な車でそれなりに早いし最高！
Yeah Idk, all that GTR needs is a tune. But even stock its good. Its amazing cause it did a fast 0-60, it stopped 1ft longer than a 911 with CARBON CERAMIC rotors/brakes, and did a great Nurburing lap time
0:08 check engine trouble light on
German car life
Yep always troubles. But we won't admit it.......

Thanks japangator. I was wondering about everything you just explained. Thumbs up.
that r8's gear stick and gate is made of win. Beautiful
Look at the shift speed difference between the GTR and the Lambo.. The GTR looks like it's shifting twice as fast.
e-gear and R-tronic were horrible on the gallardo and R8 models. That's why the Huracan and updated R8 have dual clutch units instead now.
VirusTornado Thanks for letting me know.
AdussFadass cheers
VirusTornado thanks =)
Dual clutch units taken from the VW Golf?
The understeer of the Lambo is just sick.
さすが荒さん！
『温度上がっただろ？』っていう的確な突っ込みに吹いたw
bringing Lotus Exige here is like bringing spoon in jet fight
The 3500 rpm issue is quite common in this sort of test for the GT-R its a shame.

That V8 R8 did very well, they are surprisingly well balanced, just not quite as fast on the straights, needed 480 hp.
@SergeiSerskov there was a problem in the R8 V10 actually , the GTR IS NOT STOCKKKKKKKKKKK It is tuned with SPORT TIRES
None of you noticed at the end on the straight, the GTR overheated and the computer stepped in to limit boost and rpms while the R8 behind almost caught it to the finish.
I agree with what you said, except the physics part. A car will never put physics into question
If you guys notice the RED indicator on the dashboard of the 5.2L R8? Look at it CLOSELY.
The most impressive car in this race was actually the R8 V8, it has more about a 100hp less and alot less torque than the GT-R, yet it finished 2nd in the time attack sheet!! some may argue that the GT-R is heavier, indeed but not by much and it has a lightning fast shifting automated gearbox with launch control, other people will say "but the GT-R is cheaper..", the 2012 GT-R costs $100k, the 2012 R8 V8 about $115k, I would gladly get the R8, why? beauty and exclusivity!

@vitaobatera No , the GTR is tunned by SHADOW that is why it is called shadow GTR
Im surprised how good the v8 r8 drove
And the GTR over heats?! So much for reliability. I await the GT-R fan boys..
GT-R overheated and safety kicked in, forcing the transmission to shift at 3500rpm.
3:40 did they cut away from him downshifting into too high of an RPM range?
the guy driving the gtr is making it look so easy. Just to show how such an amazing car it is.
man, i love the v8 r8, it is just perfect. just the right amount of power for the chassis, that beautiful open gearbox.. and in white they look great
@rilee11 i think the red audi v10 had problems otherwise it woulda been right up there
yeah even the v8 version held up well
@jonmogo1 That's Seiji Ara. He's usually a bit half arsed in these battles but he was on good form there.
@MrEvanRamos The R8 V10 is 120kg heavier and has 40hp less, it is slower than the LP560, almost 1 second slower to 124mph.
@doomie61
Since power steering fluid leaked and the nasty smell occurred from the exhaust manifold.
It retires from judgment of a driver.
uhm what happened to the v10 r8 ? it just suddenly stopped being in the race ..?
Mhmm true.. although, I absolutely LOVE the 911 look, specifically the 997.2 GT3RS
thanks for your awnser,but was it the engine or the transmission?
What happened to the audi r8 with the lambo 5.8 v12,
@onefouronezero here is the question. Why is the v10 r8 slower then v8 ? I am thinking that it may be becouse the drivers...

but there is a reason that you should buy a R8 instead of GT-R, R8 has much FUN to drive.
It is not only a German engineering, it also has the passion from the Italian from the V10.
What overheated on the R35?
Yes the car gets the job done for you, thats the problem, no clutch means you dont have full control or feel of the car. If you're a real driver you want a drivers car

What happened to the red R8?
i think is the increasing of the temperature of clutch or something which limits the rev to only 3.5k rpm

What happened to the R8 5.2?
gtr is FASTER !!!! ...TOP CAR !
Maybe in your dreams😝
@@temeraf.8667 look at the lap times.
what happened to the gtr? overheat?
That R8 V8 with Manual Trans. Looked really like its fun to drive...
And I dont know why...Tsuchiya is a great driver amd he's the Drift King but we all know he cant drives Lamborghinis...I cant belive that :(
DK won though, i think each driver has their own specialty or is it because he is not driving a Japanese car? haha
I don't know, it just don't feel right when the Lambo is not manual. Feels like he can't control the Lambo fully. I believe he can drive almost most of the car. Seen him drive GT3 too.
Jacky Tan Absolutely right, lambo's got to be Manual like mostly every car hehe :)
Also keep in mind that this is the 4.2 V8, not the 5.2 V10.
what happened to the red R8 V10? suddently the driver disappeared
the guy in the R8 5.2 V10 was ready to shift like in the 6 speed manual but finally realized he was in the 6 speed manumatic
why was the gtr shifting below 4k rpm's on the final lap???
@MakuthePOtHead you got it all straighten out! it's all because of the driver and maybe because of the track.
loving you is like the water in the sea.... without water the sea is not a sea... so I hope you appreciate me.
Yeah, how the heck R8 5.2 came the last? where else the lambho came first? I doubt something fishy over there
It's says "Water Temperature Rising Protection Engaged, Forced to change gears at 3500 RPM"
what happened to the v10 r8?
It got an issue with the power steering and had to retire, I think this is what they say at 4:35
I'll get my friends together and do the same race on GT5
@bttawfiq the gtr is more practical, it has a better fuel economy, R8 is also available with a dual-clutch transmission, gtr is alot faster with a real racing driver (nurburgring times), and cheaper etc.. if i wouldn't buy the gtr I'd go for the lambo for various reasons
The Lambos and Audis are so beautiful
if the gtr starters first it would've one OBVS starting from 5th and going to 2nd is impressive
Looks are always a matter of taste, i also find the GTR better looking, so don´t be rude.
this is ridicuolus
R8 inhibited by temp protection at initial crucial lap???
they are all prety good
the lambo is made for acceleration
the nissan GT-R is made for handling i think....
the audi R8 is made for speed
the lotus is just... a regular sports car not too bad
Tsuchiya is a great racer, 3rd lap (I think) mishap and the GT-R would have placed 1st, but Tsuchiya held it together.
Beginning of the race... I've never been so scared of a little lotus.
@jonmogo1 It's Ara. He ran LeMan 24hr. He is most qualify to be in here by far!
what happen to the red r8 ?
Stuff track days in super cars. Keeping up with 911's etc in a hot hatch is way more fun, with less worry about binning it. The R8 Spider is the only Audi I'd own, the rest are plain boring.
People generally like bargains and affordable supercars(think: 90's and lots of them being a lot more affordable).
I
i lvoe both cars, i think the audi has its own luxury style, but i think the GT-R looks like a monster. you cant really say one looks better than the other because ones japanese and ones german
@viperconcept yes dude but 8 seconds to the lp 560 is enough ;)
yeah quite good reaction :) i thought the same, lambo sound is awesome
And yet I would have an R8 in a heartbeat over a GTR, because of how it sounds, how it looks.
Looks, sounds and smells are as important as ability in cars. My dream car? The recent Alfa Romeo 8C - shit car, but I know I'd feel ten times better about driving that to the shops, or commuting to work, than I would in a GTR.
And that's the point. The whole point in my opinion.
Maybe the diff blew or the trans. Hard to say, but thats what Im assuming.
anybody know what tsuchiya shut off at 6:50?
I should have separated that into two statements. Its a Nissan commercial because it got alot of the video and BMI/ Hot Version sticks that car in everything. Then Tsuchiya always wins would have been the second one.
Four people get on and GTR that can be done is the Best Lap!!
@CrimnlBT : Faster when they are alone on the track... But, i'm pretty sure that the difference between them on the same race is not so big ;-)
Wow, the v8 r8 is faster then the v10... Funny... Didn't expect it. I always knew it's better
the nissan is awesome, but it takes the driver out of driving... to much computer in it for my liking... to much torque control and computer distributes power to the wheels that need it most... yes its an awesome concept but at the same time its just so much fun turning off that traction control in that r8 and just taking it to its limit with its amazing quattro awd system. plus the v8 model has such a reliable motor you could put 500k miles on that sucker. both awesome cars tho
