Why the Skyline GT-R V-Spec Midnight Purple II is special
Midnight Purple II is one of the most iconic colours ever offered on the R34 Skyline GT-R. The colour shifts between deep purple, blue and metallic tones depending on lighting conditions, giving the vehicle a distinctive appearance that stands apart from standard colours.
Production numbers for Midnight Purple II were limited, and many examples have since been modified, repainted or lost, making original Midnight Purple cars increasingly rare.
The V-Spec variant further enhances desirability, with improved suspension tuning and performance upgrades over the standard GT-R. Combined with the Midnight Purple II finish, this specification sits among the most desirable R34 combinations available today.
This example also benefits from Nismo aero components and performance upgrades, adding further enthusiast and collector appeal.
