This is a '91 Nissan Sentra SE-R. Designed by KÅichi Yasui, the SE-R was a sporty version of the Nissan Sentra compact car. The B13 generation of the Sentra, produced from 1990 to 1994, was the third generation of the Sentra. It was known under many names in different areas of the world; such names included Sunny and Genesis but it was Mexico where the car gained a cult following. Named the Tsuru, the Sentra was sold in Mexico from 1992 to 2017 and gained a cult following there, only being discontinued out of necessity due to it not being compliant with safety regulations.
The SE-R, often described by publications as somewhat analogous to the BMW 2002, was the sporty version of the Sentra. Light and sprightly, the car's compact size and light weight made it economical and agile. Costing $10,970 at the time, the Sentra SE-R is equipped with a 2.0L SR20DE inline-4, mated to a 5-speed manual. The car made 140 BHP and could go from 0-60 (0-100 km/h) in 7.6 seconds using its front-wheel drive platform. Various options include a cassette system for the stereo, anti-lock brakes and a power sunroof; the car featured four-wheel disc brakes, MacPherson strut independent suspension and a viscous LSD. At least 23,670 were sold in the United States during its production run from 1991 to 1994.
Now this casting was designed by Mark Jones and introduced in the Japanese Tuners Premium Collector Set. This depicts a lightly modified racer-style Sentra with two seats and a rollcage. This is currently its only release.
