Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline GT-R V.Spec - 24145

In January 1995, Nissan unveiled the new Skyline GT-R, a model that arrived almost one and a half years later than its Skyline stablemates. During the early 1990s, the previous GT-R had secured numerous victories, not only in the Japanese racing scene but also internationally, conquering events like the Macao Grand Prix and the Spa Francorchamps endurance race in Belgium. In keeping with its predecessor's legacy, the '95 Skyline GT-R was meticulously designed for motorsports excellence from the ground up. Powering the GT-R is a robust 2.6-liter, in-line 6-cylinder DOHC, twin-turbocharged engine. While the maximum horsepower output remained at a formidable 280hp, an increase in torque was achieved through elevated turbo boost levels.

The race-ready V-Spec variant features Nissan's cutting-edge ATTESA E-TS PRO variable torque split four-wheel drive system, efficiently distributing power to both the front and rear wheels and intelligently controlling torque distribution between the left and right rear wheels, ensuring optimal four-wheel traction control. The front and rear multi-link suspension further emphasizes sport-oriented performance for competition and class-leading handling. Equipped with a Brembo brake system on all four wheels, the GT-R ensures reliable and powerful stopping power. An adjustable stabilizer on the massive rear spoiler allows for precise control of downforce, while the striking design elements, including the substantial front and rear blistered fenders and large front air-intake, contribute to the GT-R's unmistakably aggressive appearance. This precision plastic model kit captures all the race-inspired details of the '95 Skyline GT-R, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and model builders.
