Description[]
"An original tuned R for touring car races."
This is an original tuned model created by "Gran Turismo", based on the Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V・spec II (R32) (1994).
The following is the description of the base model.
After a 16-year absence, Nissan resurrected the heralded "GT-R," in August 1989 in the form of a sleek 2+2. Nicknamed the "Ken-Mary" GT-R, this new 2+2 was based on the eighth-generation Skyline, and it would change the landscape of Japanese GT cars forever.
Under the hood lurked a new 2.6-liter DOHC inline-6 with two ceramic turbos. Power was pegged at Japan's federalized maximum limit at 276 HP with head-snapping 260.3 ft-lb of torque. Nissan poured its motorsports know-how into this powerplant, using special exhaust valves, throttle, and a reinforced cylinder block. The power was distributed to all four wheels via Nissan's ATTESA E-TS that provided incredible traction and grip on tarmac or gravel.
In the handling department, the R32 knew few equals at its suspension - a unique multilink setup at both the front and rear - kept the car steady through sharp turns. The R32 also had a special steering system too, in the form of the Super HICAS four-wheel steering. The discs brakes at all four corners features aluminum calipers, with four pistons up front and two on the rear.
Nissan's motorsports arm, Nismo, created a limited-edition model which was followed by V-spec and V-spec II, both models taking the already awesome performance of the R32 to higher levels. Unfortunately American motorists never had the opportunity to sample its prowess; nevertheless Nissan still managed to sell 43,934 units by November 1994.
