The Nissan Skyline GT-R is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and beloved historic cars. This model, originally from Japan, represented Repsol in the Touring Car Championship in 1992 and 1993, winning the title in the latter.<\/p>\n

Why is the Nissan Skyline a legendary car?<\/h2>\n

It all started in 1957 when the brand Prince launched the Skyline model. It was a rear-wheel drive car, equipped with a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder engine and 59 hp. This car would be the cornerstone on which the legend of the Nissan Skyline would be built. <\/p>\n

In 1964 the GT version was launched, which had a six-cylinder, 2-litre engine and between 104 and 123 hp depending on the model. This vehicle surprised us at the Fuji GP<\/strong>, where it was driven in the GT-II race. The competition Skyline GT was remarkably different from its street version, with an increased power of 160 hp and a weight of less than a tonne. <\/p>\n

The results were immediate; in its debut, the Skyline, driven by Tetsu Ikuzawa, managed to take the leading position at times, surprising the public and the rest of the competitors. Despite the fact that it did not get a victory, which was taken home by the Porsche 904 GTS, the Skyline\u2019s great capability was evident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
