Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32): Time for Coffee?
You've probably seen a Godzilla onboard before, but not one quite like this
Why do manufacturers persist with showing off old cars at motor shows of new cars? Inevitably the attention will be on the classic stuff because, well, things were always better in the old days, weren't they?The latest culprit is Nissan, who brought along all the previous GT-Rs to accompany the launch of theat New York last week. It wasn't long after that that YouTube was being raided for an old Skyline clip to celebrate the previous heroes.
This one's a gem, even if we do say so ourselves. It features a Group A Skyline GT-R and Keiichi Tsuchiya, the man you may know as Drift King and who has featured in a few films. He can drive, put it that way. And he's in a 650hp GT-R...
Does anyone on PH know Japanese? We would love to know what Tsuchiya is saying here, as he's clearly very, very excited. And who wouldn't be? As is his usual style, Tsuchiya is absolutely on it as well. It's a great watch. Now we just have to wait another 20 years or so for R35 videos to looks this exciting!
Watch the video.
