AMG have tried a lot to give a true racing feel in the very first time behind the wheel. Under the hood SLS has a well-known V8 6.3 engine with 563 horsepower, which launched the beast from 0 to 60 mph (0-100 kph) in just 3.7 seconds. Competitors from Japan have
significantly smaller V6 engine with displacement of 3799cc. Acceleration of the GT-R from 0-60 mph is only 0.1 seconds slower than the German machine. Upon reaching 125 mph Mercedes SLS takes a solid lead. The maximum speed of the both
super cars is over 300 km / h (195 mph). The biggest shortcoming of the Mercedes is missing all wheel drive system, which Nissan work perfect. Expected fuel consumption is quite good at GT-R, mostly because of 80 horses less. Although of its small engine, the Japanese super car has more than 160 kg heavier. When choosing between these two cars probably nobody will be interested about ride com
fort, since neither of the two cars is not maked for everyday use, however, at Mercedes have a bit more space. Braking systems in both cars present almost identical result, with very slight excess of SLS. The price of $ 183,000 for the Mercedes SLS AMG is more
than twice that of the Nissan GT-R $84,000, which is very much about cars so aligned.
Our advice: Definitely a Mercedes AMG SLS will not go unnoticed, but is worth the money?? Nissan GT-R is a wonderful super sports car at very reasonable price, you will not get 
the luxury of the Mercedes, but on the track GT-R is present even better than much more expensive competitor.
