Nissan Skyline GTR
The Nissan Skyline GT-R is a Japanese sports car based on the Nissan Skyline range.
The first GT-Rs were produced from 1969–1973. After a 16 year hiatus since the KPGC110 in 1972, the GT-R name was revived in 1989 with the Skyline R32. This car was nicknamed "Godzilla" by the Australian motoring publication "Wheels" in its July 1989 edition, a name that sticks to this day. The R32 GT-R dominated the motorsport in Japan, winning 29 straight victories out of 29 races.

Design and Performance
The new generation of the GTR made its public debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. It was launched to the Japanese market on the 6 December 2007, and the official U.S. launch was on July 07, 2008. Although the Nissan GTR no longer carries the "Skyline" name, it has its heritage in the Nissan Skyline GTR. Just like its big brothers the Skyline GTRs "R32, R33 and R34", the Nissan GTR has a very smart all-wheel drive system and a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine. |
