The Nissan GT-R is regarded as a coupe that can go head-to-head against supercars. That's true – if you consider its current performance numbers and compare it to the supercars available in 2009, the model year of the current-generation GT-R.

Sure, the GT-R has received two minor updates within the decade of its existence, with the current GT-R producing 565 bhp and 467 lb-ft of torque from its 3.8-litre twin-turbo VR38DETT V6.

But how do these numbers compare against more modern counterparts like, let's say, the BMW M8 Competition and Ferrari GTC4Lusso? CarWow pit the Japanese sports coupe against these two European hard-hitters in a drag race to see if Godzilla can still keep up. But first, let's compare the numbers in black and white.

The BMW M8 Competition is powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 625 bhp and 553 lb-ft of twists. The GTC4Lusso, on the other hand, has a naturally-aspirated 6.3-litre V12 under its bonnet that makes 690 bhp and 514 lb-ft of torque. This seems like a perfect match, right?

The GT-R here, on the other hand, isn't an ordinary GT-R. It has already been tuned by its owner, with a total output of 630 bhp and 575 lb-ft of torque. Even better, the GT-R is the lightest among the three.

With these numbers laid out, do you think the tuned GT-R has a chance to win against the BMW and the Ferrari? Watch the video on top of this page to find out.
