The Nissan Skyline GT-R is the icon amongst Japanese performance cars, its almost mythical status accentuated by the fact that it has never been sold officially outside Japan-supposedly because its 600 brake horsepower makes it too fearsome a beast! However, there are now many "grey" imports in the United Kingdom, United States of America and Australia, and the Skyline has a large aspirational following around the world. In spite of its awesome power and performance, cutting-edge technology allows a Skyline to be driven safely and quickly by almost anyone. A unique insight into the ultimate Japanese supercar. 160 pages, 175 colour photos. English.
