Autocar - GT-R v 911 Turbo v R8 V10

The Nissan GT-R, the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Audi R8 V10. Immensely capable and devastatingly quick cars, all. But does the quickest track car make the best road car? Do flappy paddle gearboxes still incur the wrath of reviewers like they once did? Does price matter?

    Problem with the GT-R for track junkies is that this thing will overheat too easily! You do get what you pay….
