I've been looking for a video like this and here it is:
NISMO GTR (2015) VS 918 - YouTube

Large part of the 918's violent acceleration is down to the electrical motors. It is a hybrid after all, but as comment says, as soon as the 918's batteries runs low it is not that much faster any more and the Nismo is actually catch up and is faster down the straight.
I would love to see a two lap race with the Nismo on the same tires as the 918.

Interesting how much the paddles on the steering column as opposed to the wheel hinder the GTR drivers ability to be in the right gear when he wants. I quite like the paddles on the stalk but after watching this I am starting to think my brother was right about his M3 paddles on the wheel being more practical.

Not really a direct comparison as it's sunny on the Porsches run and different drivers, impressive all the same though.

918 pulls everywhere in this vid, be good to know a few comparative details of the cars/tyres/driver, but the porker is much faster..

OMG the 918 is a beast!! Seems way more agile. The nismo did very well considering.
