Skyline GT-R V-Spec II

スカイライン GT-R

The Nissan Skyline GT-R is a legendary Japanese sports car whose lineage traces back to the Prince Motor Company in 1957. The first GT-R debuted in 1969, but it was the 1989 revival with the R32 generation that truly cemented its global icon status. Engineered to dominate Group A racing, the R32 earned the fearsome nickname "Godzilla" due to its undisputed track supremacy. Powered by the formidable RB26DETT twin-turbo engine and the advanced ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, the GT-R evolved through the highly revered R33 and R34 generations. Today, propelled by mainstream pop culture appearances, it remains a highly coveted collector's item worldwide
