Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33)

Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33)

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.

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?).

Performance: The R33 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 450 horse power, a top speed of 200 mph (323 km/h) and an acceleration from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) of 4.0 seconds

Chick Factor: Low. Going around with a Skyline would look like you came out straight from a video game.
