15 Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Spec-V
The Nissan Skyline became one of the most successful cars for street and motor racing (particularly in Japan). Its dominance was so great that people started calling it Godzilla. With its increasing popularity and ever-more dominance the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Spec-V became a cult and much loved as it repeatedly made the Ferraris eat the dust ….. It is said that in real world, in street races very few Supercar can stand upto the Godzilla …..
Design: Based on the standard Skyline coupe frame, the GT-R version packed several racing accessories, and it became famous world wide after its appearances on video games (ever played Gran Turismo?). However, it may look very boxy or very much saloon like, but it handles like a dream. It enters a Corner like a Rear Wheel Drive Car & exits with all 4 wheels blazing … It is so well balanced and the on-board computer works so beautifully that this Car has been an out and out favourite for Street Racers, Drag Racers & Drifters …
Performance: The R33 & later R34 version used the same 2.6-litre engine of the R32, but it introduced several improvements, like a better oil pump and an advanced intake camshaft. The result? A potency of 500-600 horse power, a top speed of more than 200+ mph (323+ km/h) and an acceleration from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) of less than 4.0 seconds. This 4-wheel drive 6 cylinder beast of a car was so much dominant in the races it participated that in quite a few Racing tournaments laws were revisited to prohibit Skyline from entering the competition …
Chick Factor: Low. Going around with a Skyline would look like you came out straight from a video game. Girls won’t really get impressed unless they are Gaming Freak or in much rarer case if they understand this baby. Truly tough luck !!!
