These are our favorite kinds of car videos. Take a few super hot, fire-breathing, track-ready road cars and pit them against one another on a race track and see who wins. Autocar magazine's Steve Sutcliffe assembled the Nissan GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/model/gt+r), the Porsche 911 Turbo (http://www.autoblog.com/model/911) and the Audi R8 V10 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/r8) at the UK's Castle Combe (http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/) circuit to see which of the entry level supercars could turn in the fastest lap.
The GT-R is the low-cost track star of the bunch, with the most mass, the least power and, arguably the most grip of the group. The 911 Turbo is the featherweight of the entry supercar trio, with middle-of-the-pack power and an (apparently) adventurous ride. The R8 V10 has the most power and Audi's excellent Quattro all-wheel drive system.
Sutcliffe took all through road warriors through the paces at Castle Combe, and the dynamic trio finished within about one second of each other. One of them could have won if it weren't for some iffy brakes, another didn't quite have the grip to win the day while the winner was quickest in and out of turns. Who won? You'll have to hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/10/video-i-autocar-i-pits-nissan-gt-r-vs-porsche-911-turbo-and/#continued) and watch the high-res footage to find out.
