NISSAN GT-R® TAKUMI

Masterful Craftsmanship

Each GT-R bears a badge of honour. With a mere five in existence, the Takumi — master craftsmen of the highest order — were the only people on Earth allowed to hand-assemble GT-R engines. Fittingly, each GT-R was affixed with a plaque carrying its Takumi's name

NISSAN GT-R® HISTORY

Thrilling Since Day One

Winning runs in GT-R’s DNA. From a humble yet powerful sedan in 1969, to modern GT500 race cars, GT-R has always been a legendary competitor. That same racing spirit was infused into every GT-R ever built.

1969 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Sedan and 1971 Skyline 2000 GT-R.
1973 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R.
1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R.
1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R.
1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R.

1969 Skyline 2000GT-R® sedan (PGC10) & 1971 Skyline 2000GT-R® (KPGC10)

The first Skyline GT-R was released in 1969 and was powered by a 2.0-litre DOHC S20 inline-6 engine, producing approximately 160 hp. It became available as a coupe starting in March 1971 and earned its place in competition history when GT-R racked up its 50th overall racing victory.

1973 Skyline 2000GT-R® (KPGC110)

Powered by a 1989-cc I6 S20 engine, this edition of GT-R was also known as the “Kenmeri” Skyline, due to a popular ad featuring a young couple (Ken and Mary) enjoying the Hokkaido countryside. Stricter emissions standards and the international oil crisis resulted in a total of only 197 of these cars being built.

1989 Skyline GT-R® (R32)

The precursor to today’s GT-R was introduced in 1989. The R32 Skyline had all-wheel drive and the famed Nissan RB26DETT inline-6 that pumped out approximately 280 hp. This GT-R model also had an incredible competition record, with 29 victories and no defeats during four seasons of the Japan Touring Car Championship, from 1990 through 1993.

1995 Skyline GT-R® (R33)

The R33 GT-R launched with base GT-R V-Spec models. The V-Spec employed a lowered, more-focused suspension and included the newer ATTESA E-TS® Pro All-Wheel Drive system. For ultimate performance, the available R33 GT-R V-Spec N1 model was made lighter by removing the ABS, air conditioning, sound system, rear wiper and even the carpeting in the trunk.

1998 Skyline GT-R® (R34)

The R34 Skyline GT-R was introduced in 1998, and its RB26DETT twin-turbo I6 engine produced an impressive 327 hp. It became a video game legend, meaning many enthusiasts’ first time driving a GT‑R was a virtual experience.
