The R32 GT-R was introduced in 1989 and continued the very successful racing heritage of its famous GT-R predecessors with several championship titles. This car was built to fit Japanese Group A racing specifications and only hit the road, because the rules demanded its street homologation. So in reality, this is a race-car for the street.

The GT-R's back gets the twin round tail-lights common to all R32 series Skylines, and its back can only be distinguished from the standard coupe by its larger wing and the GT-R badge. The overall design of the car feels actually quite simple and inconspicuous - as strange as this may sound concerning a Skyline GT-R. There is no real hint for outsiders to show what this car is really capable of. It rather looks like a simple family-coupe that some over-ambitious tuning-freak had its hands on. But in reality, the clefted front spoiler, the bulges and the rear wing are no exaggerated design tricks, but features directly taken from racing. They all have their purpose in a car that, at the time it was built, was considered to be one of the best sports cars of the world - maybe even THE best. The interior convinces with excellent ergonomics, although the used materials look cheaper than on newer models. The instruments on the other hand are comprehensive, with additional front-torque and oil-temperature gauges in the centre console, which are quite useful for track-use.
