What a difference 56 years makes juxtaposition of Nissan Skyline GT-R, 1969 and Nissan GT-R, 2025. The latest version of Nissan's R35 series GT-R has been revealed for the Japanese market. Changes are minimal and include high precision weight-balanced piston rings, connecting rods and crankshafts and a new interior color, Blue Heaven. This could be the final iteration of the R35 series that debuted in 2007.

Prince Skyline Sport Coupe by Michelotti. (1 of 60). 

The Prince Skyline was a car with humble beginnings that would slowly evolve into one of the most famous Japanese sports cars in the world – the Nissan Skyline and the almost universally loved Nissan GT-R.

The Skyline model range started in 1957 as a modest four-door sedan with a 1,482cc 4-cylinder engine producing 60 hp, and capable of a top speed of 87 mph. Nissan and Prince would merge in the 1960s, the Skyline was one of the Prince cars that survived – eventually becoming a major member of the Nissan stable.

One of the most famous early Skylines is the car you see here, the Skyline Sport Coupe by Michelotti. It was the work of Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti who was hired to pen the eye-catching bodywork, using the Prince Gloria as the base platform. The Gloria was the slightly larger sibling to the Skyline, with a 1.9 litre engine that offered a little more power, and a slightly larger overall footprint allowing more room inside the cabin. Michelotti used this larger platform to his advantage, creating both a luxurious coupe and a convertible, with ample interior space, canted headlights, and remarkably good visibility from inside the car thanks to the narrow pillars. The unusual headlights weren’t actually that unusual at the time, they’d been used by cars built by automakers like Chrysler, Bentley, and Ferrari. Michelotti would go on to use a somewhat similar headlights design again on the Triumph Vitesse in 1962.The early 1960s were a time of rapid change in the automotive world, with many car makers competing to create and establish new design language for the new decade. It was a forward-thinking move by Prince to hire Michelotti at the beginning of the decade to design them a new body, at the same time giving the brand the significant image boost that comes with the hiring of a well-known Italian designer.

Under the hood, the Prince Skyline Sport Coupe used the same 91 hp 1.9 litre engine as the Gloria, so performance was sedate rather than aggressive. The transmission is a 4-speed manual column-shift, and power is sent back to a live axle rear end. Over the course of the model’s very limited production run, only approximately 60 examples of Michelotti’s Skyline were built. Despite their relative rarity, they were a common sight in Toho films of the early 1960s – largely because Prince had a very proactive (and very successful) PR team who were adept at getting their cars used in films.

The Nissan R35 GT-R Is Awesome - Here’s Why

The R35 Nissan GT-R is a supercar-slaying beast, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Often discarded by badge snobs as simply being a fast Nissan, the R35 GT-R is the ultimate example of what a high-tech supercar can achieve. Capable of castrating the C8 Corvette, dishing out punishment to a Porsche 911 Turbo and a fondness for frying the majority of Ferraris, the Nissan R35 GT-R is a true supercar killer. Picking up the baton handed to it by the highly respected Nissan GT-R Skyline run of cars, the R35 redefines the perception of speed and prowess for a whole new generation of performance-loving gearheads.

Possessing enough grunt to humble just about anything that it meets at the lights, and aided by an incredible amount of computing power, the Nissan R35 GT-R is a powerhouse that chews up and spits out exotica. A giant-slaying Beast from the East here are eight reasons why the Nissan R35 GT-R is awesome, and two reasons why we'd never buy this Japanese sports car.

The Ultimate Tech-Driven Ride

The GT-R has become the masthead for Nissan. A car that has become so technologically advanced in its delivery of speed, it almost stands alone. Crammed with computer systems, the GT-R is a modern masterpiece and a four-wheeled middle finger to the laws of physics.

Harnessing the latest tech so that it goes, stops, and grips like nothing before it, the GT-R elevates its driver to new heights. Generating abilities that make it unstoppable in all weather, the Nissan GT-R is a marvel of modern motoring and a formidable foe.

It's Ridiculously Fast

In a Nismo-tuned Nissan GT-R, the 0-60 mph dash can be dispatched in as little as 2.5 seconds. Even more impressive is the fact that it'll rocket to 100mph in 6.9 seconds, in the context of speed, that's as fast as an average modern hot hatch will hit 60 mph.

With a top speed of 199mph, the Nissan GT-R is capable of making supercars look less than super. It has enormous mid-range acceleration and can corner at neck-jarring speeds. Whilst the quarter-mile can be covered in a whisker over 10.5 seconds.

Very Practical

More than just a speeding bullet, the Nissan GT-R does a good job at being a practical daily driver. The trunk has an impressive 315 litres of luggage space, ideal for transporting a week's grocery shopping or some suitcases for a short break.

In addition, the rear individual seats, while not boasting vast amounts of adult legroom, do give the super coupe room to transport four. Beautifully sculpted seats and a high-end stereo system ensure that comfort goes hand-in-hand with speed.

Nods To Its Heritage

Even though Nissan dropped the Skyline name tag for the R-35, the latest GT-R is still its spiritual successor. Sporting four circular taillights, a signature from its past, the GT-R carried over the ethos of being a supercar for anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Building on the technological advances of its predecessors, the R-35 GT-R takes this to a new level. Retaining its penchant for throwing an overwhelming amount of data at its occupants from a central screen, the GTR monitors every aspect of driving.

A Tuners Delight

Just like the cars that came before it, the Nissan GT-R welcomes plenty of attention from tuners. Huge power outputs are on offer on stock internals for those seeking to dial up the horsepower rating. Whilst staggering performance is on tap for those looking at wilder modifications.

In addition to potential power outputs of, 1500hp, the GT-R can be restyled to reflect an owner's vision. Whether it be through a body kit, interior retrim, or panel wrap, the GT-R just welcomes the amendments. Faster or more stylish, the options are almost endless.

Gets Better And Better

On release, the GT-R blew its competition out of the water. Nissan delivered a vehicle that didn't just move the high-performance car section on, it booted it ahead a decade. It made other performance vehicles look like antiques as it powered ahead of the pack.

Not one to simply sit back and let their creation age gracefully, Nissan continued to update and improve the GT-R. Through numerous special editions and facelifts, the GT-R continued to evolve, getting faster, more sophisticated, and more honed.

An Affordable Option

There are very few cars that can compete on price against what the GT-R serves up. Dishing out numbers and performance figures that defy belief, the GT-R comes in at a good deal less than like-for-like high-performance cars, making it a bargain.

Older cars have also now dropped to a level that puts them on a par with a brand new fully loaded Volkswagen Golf R. This raises the question of whether to go for the rapid hatchback or the ballistically fast, super car-killing coupe. It's an easy choice.

No Pretentious Exotic

Built to exact Nissan standards that would make many supercars hang their heads in shame, the GT-R is a product that can take daily abuse. Devoid of fragile mechanicals, the GT-R is just as robust and useable as any other mainstream Nissan product.

The GT-R is for people who are not wrapped up in owning a vehicle that says more about their image than their passion. Yes, it is great to look at, but it's no Italian beauty, and it is all the better for it. The GT-R is simply packed with purpose and not losing power.

Nissan R390 GT1 (Road-legal) 

These days, there are supercars and hypercars everywhere, all of which offer scintillating performance and a cool factor that is difficult to imitate. But very few cars are based on true racing machines. That wasn't the case in a bygone era when monsters like the McLaren F1 LM and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR ruled the roost. Japan also tried its hand at creating road-legal racecars, and one of the most famous was the Nissan R390 GT1, a legend of Nismo history. Penned by celebrated designer Ian Callum, only one roadgoing version was ever made, although its 3.5-liter engine formed the basis for the McLaren V8 that is in circulation today. Luckily, Nissan isn't hiding it in a museum for all eternity and brought it out to wow the crowds at Concorso d'Eleganza, at Lake Como's Villa d'Este. The 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8 produced 550 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque back in 1998, all of which was channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission. It weighed roughly the same as a current-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata, tipping the scales at just 2,420 pounds, which translated to a 0-60-mph sprint time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 220 mph. The quarter-mile could reportedly be dispensed with in just 11.9 seconds - not bad for something designed for endurance racing. Sadly, Nissan never followed through on its promise to bring it into mainstream production, and this remains the only example ever made. If only something this cool could be made from the current Nissan GT-R.
