Ladies and Gentlemen
I present to you the legendary NISSAN SKYLINE 2000GT-R (KPGC110). This is my first ever Kyosho car. Kyosho made the model with very superb detail. Love it!!
A few facts :-

Brand : Kyosho
Model : Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110)

This car’s history is well known. The GT-R version of the Kenmeri Skyline was introduced in 1973, with plans for it to follow the C10 Skyline GT-R as one of Japan’s great racers. But due to new emissions regulations it never happened. Only 197 were made, and the car never raced.
Let the photo speak for itself....
History
The KPGC10's successor, the KPGC110, was introduced in 1973 after its introduction at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show. Powered by a 1,989 cc S20 inline-6 engine, the second generation of the GT-R delivered power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. This car also had both front and rear disc brakes. The suspension was a semi-trailing ring arm setup and minor aerodynamic parts were added.
This model of the GT-R was also known as the "Kenmeri" Skyline, due to a popular advertisement featuring a young couple (Ken and Mary) enjoying the Hokkaido countryside. The advertisement later spawned a hit song by Buzz, and the tree featured in the advertisement later became a minor star itself.
Unfortunately, the second generation GT-R was unsuccessful, for a gasoline crisis hit in the early 1970s, drying out any demand for high-performance sports cars.[18] A total of 197 cars were built by the end of its short production run. For the next decade, this was the last GT-R until the production of the R32 in 1989.
