In-game description

"A popular model of the R32. A masterpiece of rear-wheel drive sportscars made through Nissan's 901 movement."

Not to be confused with the Skyline GT-R, the "normal" Skyline was continuously produced since the days of the Nissan-Prince merger. While many of the previous models were nothing to get excited about, the R32 definitely made a statement when it appeared in May 1989. The awesome R32 GT-R's foundations came from this car, which speaks volumes when you consider that car's performance. The handling of the FR (Front engine/Rear drive) was first rate being developed under Nissan's 901 project to make the best performance chassis by 1990. It possessed a rock-solid body structure that was compact in nature, especially if you compared it to the R31 which stretched 100 mm longer. Nissan also scrapped the suspension system of the previous model in favor of an all new multilink design that provided a solid ride quality and excellent cornering character.

The base GTS Sport came equipped with a 2.0-liter DOHC inline-6, aka the RB20DE, that produced 153 HP and 135.9 ft-lb of torque. The GTS-T Type M utilized a turbocharged version of the RB engine that produced 212 HP and 195.2 ft-lb of torque. Also in the lineup was the GTS4 that featured the ATTESA-ETS all-wheel-drive system from the GT-R. In 1991, the GTS25 Type S received a 2.5-liter displacement bump, which increased power to 178 HP. The R32 Skyline ushered in a new era for Nissan, making the company the preeminent sports-sedan maker in Japan.
