Description
The evolution of the Skyline GT-R is firmly based in Nissan's motorsport legacy, where remarkable performance and cutting-edge technology contributed to the GT-R's status in Japanese domestic market (JDM) history.
Since its first version debuted in the late 1960s, it has undergone continuous evolution and development, particularly after the revival of the GT-R nameplate in 1989 with the third generation R32.
The R33 was introduced in 1995 and gained attention as the first production car to achieve a sub-8 minute lap time at the Nürburgring.
