Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline Gt-R V-Spec - 24210

About the Nissan Skyline GT-R V Spec (R34)

From 1969 through to the early 1970s, the Skyline GT-R achieved an unbelievable streak of fifty victories in a row in Japanese Touring Car Races. Sixteen years later, its successful name was passed on to the R32 chassis, which was developed as a base machine for Group-A races. To take full advantage of its powerful 2.6 inline 6-cylinder twin turbo engine, it was equipped with a 4WD system, which provided unrivaled race performance. The 1995 model year saw the larger body and refined mechanics of the R33. In 1999, the technology cultivated over a long racing history was unsparingly poured into the new R34 type, developed with "ultimate driving pleasure" in mind. The R34 features a smaller body and a sturdier structure, with ample consideration given to its aerodynamics. The adjustable two-level rear spoiler as well as a front and rear diffuser (V-spec), regulate the flow of air under the chassis, heightening control. The R34's impressive speed is accounted for by a modification in valve timing and turbocharging of the GETRAG 6-speed transmission-controlled engine. Further refinements have been adopted such as an electronically controlled front/rear power distribution 4WD system and a multi-link suspension. Undergoing extensive testing in Japan, its driving performance was further improved in Germany, on the Nürburgring. Unrivaled speed and control have made the R34 version of the GT-R, Nissan's most coveted sports coupe.
