Online automotive channel Drive has a new season of its popular Chris Harris On Cars segment and the first episode starts off with a bang.

The episode sees three of the world’s best sports cars pitted against one another, though the choice of cars is a bit odd.

They include an Audi R8 V10 Plus, a Type 997 Porsche 911 Turbo S and a Nissan GT-R. Nothing out of the ordinary here, right?

Not quite, actually. One is a brand new car, another has just been superseded by a new model and the third has thousands of dollars worth of performance modifications.

In case you’re wondering, the R8 V10 Plus is the new model, the 911 Turbo S is the car that’s been replaced and the Nissan GT-R is the modded beast.

Not exactly the fairest of group tests, but the combination certainly makes for good viewing.
