Article Body
Dreaming of a Porsche 911 or a Ferrari Testarossa but deterred by the steep price? The Nissan Skyline GTR is a sports coupe that serves as a more budget-friendly option. Throughout the 70s and 90s, this Japanese-made car captured headlines and gained widespread admiration in the automotive world.
Praised by a variety of motoring magazines for its exceptional performance and handling, the Skyline GTR earned a place in the ranks of European industry icons. It stood toe-to-toe with competitors like the Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda NSX, and Mazda RX-7, offering owners a delightful slice of automotive history.
The Skyline brand's origins trace back to another Japanese auto company, Prince, which initially produced the Skyline sedans. This changed when Prince merged with Nissan-Datsun. The “GTR” in Skyline GTR stands for Gran Turismo Racer, with a hyphen added for emphasis on its racing prowess.
As the car's reputation grew, new models emerged. The PGC10 2000 GTR, a four-door variant, was succeeded by the two-door KPGC10. The Skyline GTR became a force on the racing circuit, achieving 33 victories in just a year and a half. By its discontinuation in 1972, it had amassed 1000 wins. Unfortunately, the last of the original GTRs, the KPGC110 2000GT-R, struggled due to a global energy crisis, resulting in less than 200 sales.
After a production hiatus, the Skyline GTR made its comeback in 1989 as the Nissan Skyline R32. Featuring advanced technology such as on-demand four-wheel drive, it stood out amongst competitors at an accessible price of about $31,000. The 90s saw the Skyline GTR surge in popularity, largely due to its rear-wheel drive. However, a new GTR has yet to be introduced since the last update in 2002.
