1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R

The Nissan Skyline GT-R is, quite possibly, the most famous Japanese sports car ever assembled. Known the world over for its myriad appearances in popular media and atop motorsport podiums, the monstrous performance capabilities of the GT-R are often preceded by its iconic reputation. From humble beginnings as a modestly powered “economy” platform of the late 1950s, each successive generation has pushed the boundaries of automotive technology, design, and performance. As Nissan’s flagship sport model for more than 50 years, the top-of-the-line Skyline GT-R remains the pinnacle of Japanese performance and desirability.
