In-game Description[]
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
When the time comes to give out awards for The Snappiest Car Title, chances are the nominations won't include the "Skyline GT-R Autech 40th Anniversary Version." For some people, having a race bred 1995 R-33 Skyline GT-R with sophisticated multi-link suspension front and rear, a clever four-wheel-drive system and Super HICAS four-wheel-steer is not enough. Neither are they satisfied with a straight-six, DOHC, 2.6-litre engine producing 280 BHP at 6,800 rpm or 271 lb/ft of torque at 4,400 rpm from twin turbos. A 0-60 mph figure of a mere 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph, limited only by an electronic governor, leaves them strangely unfulfilled. As does the knowledge that the 17-inch alloy wheels are clad in 245/45 Bridgestone tyres to aid the car's incredible grip, or that the Brembo brakes provide such fantastic stopping power. They harumph when you remind them that the gearbox is the snickiest Getrag 5-speed they're ever likely to experience. A bitter taste is left in their mouths when they think of the fact that the R-33 is usually rear-wheel-drive, just right for some tail-out antics, but can distribute 50% of its torque to the front wheels if in-built yaw sensors feel a big moment coming on. This makes the Skyline stupidly easy to drive, an instrument that flatters the less talented, but capable of great things in the hands of a virtuoso. No, for them, something is missing. It's not the big rear wing or front air dam. Or the bucket seats that hug the body to withstand lateral Gs. They are still here. What these folk want is not a brutal-looking, brutally fast two-door coupe. They want to bring their family along for the wild, wild ride. They want a FOUR-door Nissan R-33 Skyline GT-R. Which is exactly what the "Skyline GT-R Autech 40th Anniversary Version" is.
