Overview

Few performance cars have reached the legendary status of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Developed as the pinnacle of Nissan’s performance engineering during the late 1990s, the R34 combined cutting edge technology with the brutal performance of the RB26DETT twin turbocharged engine and the advanced ATTESA E-TS Pro all wheel drive system.

This example is a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec finished in Red with Black interior, showing only 24,559 km and carrying a strong auction grade of 4.5 with B interior. Despite notes of previous panel repairs, the overall presentation of the car remains extremely clean and well preserved, especially considering the age of the vehicle.

The R34 GT-R holds a special place in automotive culture. Immortalised through motorsport, video games such as Gran Turismo and numerous motorsport victories, the R34 became the poster car for an entire generation of enthusiasts. Today, low mileage examples such as this are among the most desirable Japanese performance cars in the world.
