Nissan Skyline GT-R, Drive and Explore Without Limit

Prince Motor Company originally built the Skyline GT-R in 1957 and when Prince Motors and Nissan Motors merged in 1967, the Skyline changed its name to Nissan Skyline GT-R in 1969. The Skyline was available as a five-door station wagon or a four-door sedan. In 1969, the first performance-bred Nissan Skyline was officially released with an inline six-cylinder engine that produced 119 kW (160 hp) mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The first-generation Skyline was produced between 1969 and 1972. The second generation Skyline was released in 1973 but the release was so brief and the production halted.

Interior & Exterior

In January 1999, a new fifth-generation Skyline was introduced, known as the R34 (GT-BNR34) GTR. It features a 5.8” LCD multifunction screen that offered seven different real-time readings of the car insights. Inside the GT-R’s Sport, the seats featured the 8-way adjustability and leather-and-suede-covered upholstery for great comfort on your daily cruising. Also offered 11-speaker Bose Premium Audio System with dual woofers, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats. Interior storage includes a small center console bin and large door pockets. The cargo space of the GT-R is pretty limited with 8.8 cubic feet enough for small luggage. Also, you can use the pitiful back seats for more cargo space. 

Specifications

After a 16 year hiatus, Nissan released a new Nissan Skyline GT-R in 1989 also known as the R32 (BNR32) GT-R, featuring ATTESA (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-Terrain) all-wheel-drive system and Super-HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering) four-wheel steering. The R32 was fitted with inline six-cylinder RB26DETT 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine that produced 209 kW (280 hp) and attained 0 – 100 kph (0 – 60 mph) in 5.6 seconds.

In 1995, the fourth-generation Skyline R33 was released with the engine remained the same but the torque increased and attained a new record of 0 – 100 kph (0 – 60 mph) in 5.0 seconds. The R33’s major milestone was achieving a 7:59 lap of the Nürburgring.

The R34 fitted with the inline 6-cylinder RB26DETT twin-turbo engine with great streamlined body and a shorter wheelbase that helped the R34 achieve higher performances. The final production model of the R34 was launched in February 2002 named Skyline GT-R V Spec II Nür and Skyline GT-R M spec Nür. The Nür came with an improved RB26DETT twin-turbo that produced 246 kW (330 hp) but due to the Japanese customs, it was advertised as producing 206 kW (276 hp). Apart from the engine, the Nür had different interior trim and the speedometer reading was 300 kph (186 mph).

The GT-R features heated power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, keyless entry with push-button ignition, power-folding heated wing mirrors, automatic LED headlights, hill start assist, DampTronic adaptive suspension, a rearview camera, front and back parking sensors, a variable Fujitsubo titanium exhaust, and a rev-matching system for the gearbox.
