Nissan GT-R v Audi R8

The Nissan GTR has caused something of an upset in the motor world with its eagerly anticipated debut in 2009. The Japanese powerhouse has replaced the enthusiasts old favourite; the Skyline with apparent ease. Reaching top speeds of around 195mph, this superbly styled, fine tuned monster will hit 60mph from standstill in an astonishing 3.2 seconds, which is nothing short of breathtaking for a car that weighs the best part of 2 tonnes. On this unique experience you will have the chance to compare this superbly powerful Japanese beast against one of Germany’s finest exports; the Audi R8. Featured as a prototype in i-Robot with Will Smith; the RS range of Audis have become an absolute ‘must-have’ for sportsmen and celebrities alike. Based on the Lamborghini Gallardo, this stunning supercar has established itself as one of the absolute best on the road with 420bhp coming from a superbly tuned 4.2L engine. This great track day gives you the enviable decision, which one would you rather own?
