This is a '99 Nissan Skyline GT-R, internally designated the GF-BNR34. Designed by Kōzō Watanabe, this generation of the Skyline GT-R was the last of its kind; the last of the Skyline GT-Rs before the Skyline range was spun off into a series of luxury cars. The cars were powered by the now-legendary 2.6L RB26DETT inline-6 through a 6-speed Getrag manual. This is passed through the ATTESA 4-wheel drive system. The car was shorter than the previous generation of Skyline GT-R. Production began in 1999 and ended in 2002 with 11,578 produced.
This car gained fame in the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. This car was originally built by Craig Lieberman, but then rented and modified by Universal Pictures to their tastes. The car features a C-West body kit, HRE rims, a C-West wing, HKS downpipe and titanium exhaust, Tokyo T1 Proxes... you get the idea. After the car was returned to Craig, he repainted it back to blue. The car was sold off in 2003 and is now part of a private collection.
Now this casting was designed by Phil Riehlman and introduced in 2010 as a New Model. This casting has had twenty-five known releases, the last being in 2021 as part of the id line of cars.
A curiosity: incorrect license plate on this one.
