Product Description
- The Skyline was released in 1957 as Prince Motor Company's flagship model, before the company was absorbed into Nissan.
- The company has long been active in motor sports to demonstrate its technological capabilities, and one of the highlights of this was the launch of the GT, a competition car based on the second-generation Skyline.
- The second-generation Skyline was a family sedan equipped with an economical 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, but in order to win the second Japan Grand Prix, Prince Motor Company produced about 100 GTs equipped with a powerful 2-liter 6-cylinder engine from their large luxury sedan, the Gloria, by stretching the body, and obtained homologation.
- Although the team took on the 2nd Japan Grand Prix in perfect condition, they were defeated by a privately brought Porsche 904 and took the victory. However, the rest of the top positions were monopolized by Skyline GTs.
- Since then, the Skyline GT has become synonymous with high-performance sedans and is loved by car enthusiasts to this day.
- Hot Wheels has recreated the car using a new mold.
- The livery is based on that of the car driven by #39 Yoshikazu Sunako, who finished second in the GT-II class behind a Porsche at the 2nd Japanese Grand Prix.
