The GT-R NISMO 400R: A Rare, High-Performance Icon with a Price Tag to Match
The GT-R NISMO 400R is a legendary car that has captivated enthusiasts and collectors alike. With only 44 units ever built, this rare and powerful vehicle is a true collector's dream. And now, one of the few 400Rs in the US is up for auction, demanding a staggering price tag of over $1 million.
This 1996 Skyline GT-R NISMO 400R is a masterpiece of engineering and design. Based on the R33 GT-R V-Spec, Nissan Motorsports took it to the extreme. The RB26 engine was tuned and enlarged by REINIK, resulting in a formidable 2.8-liter powerhouse with twin N1 turbochargers. This power plant produced an astonishing 400bhp, breaking the 276bhp 'gentleman's agreement' and delivering an incredible performance.
The 400R boasts an impressive list of features, including four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, Bilstein suspension, uprated brakes, a widebody kit, and a carbon-Kevlar bonnet. These enhancements, combined with the powerful engine, allowed the car to accelerate from 0-60mph in around four seconds and reach a top speed of 186mph. And yes, it even comes with actual dials in the glovebox, adding a touch of luxury to its high-performance nature.
Given its rarity and exceptional performance, it's no surprise that the GT-R NISMO 400R is a highly sought-after collectible. With a price tag of over $1 million, this auction listing is a testament to the car's legendary status and the desire of collectors to own a piece of automotive history.
