vehicle overview
One of the most revered Japanese sports cars of all time, the Nissan Skyline GT-R series is well regarded by petrolheads across the world. This streak of excellence started way back in 1969, when the first performance variant of Nissan’s popular Skyline model was created. With its spunky straight six engine and rear-wheel drive configuration, it offered exciting performance in a practical package. With every subsequent iteration, Nissan upgraded and improved the Skyline GT-R to new heights of performance and driving excitement.
Exterior and Interior
Reportedly wearing a Midnight Purple wrap, this 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec sports a white paint job beneath, so you can choose which color you like better after purchase. The car comes with a high rear spoiler and aftermarket wheels, both in black, a color which works well with either choice of body shade. Red brake calipers for the Brembo braking system permeate the wheels and add a splash of brightness to the car’s side profile. The interior of this 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec is a four-seat affair in lovely red cloth. It’s a right hand drive car, and sports front bucket seats which is important for spirited driving. We are told that there’s an air conditioning unit as well, located in the glove box. You’ve also got a lovely Pioneer Carrozzerria head unit that’s classic Japanese audio right there. The head unit supports Bluetooth and offers DVD playback too. But all that pales when you fire up the engine and gaze at that iconic gauge cluster, with its tachometer redlined at 8,000rpm and speedometer stretching all the way to 320 kilometers per hour – that’s 200mph for you! And despite all this capability, there’s also a suitably roomy trunk, making this car a family hauler if and when needed.
Engine
This 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec uses a 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged RB26DETT in-line six. Paired with a manual transmission, it’s pure driving nirvana, unfiltered. Power is sent to all four wheels, making for excellent traction and handling characteristics.
