Den avlidne filmstjärnan Paul Walkers förkärlek för Nissan Skyline (R34) GTR visste inga gränser och i flera av Fast and the Furious-filmerna rattade Walker en R34:a och nu har den laserblå 2000-årsmodellens GTR sålts via auktionshuset Bonhams, för 14 miljoner kronor.
"The Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, affectionately known as "Godzilla," is a sports car that was produced by the Japanese concern from 1999-2002. It was the final iteration of the renowned straight-six engined Nissan Skyline GT-R, and is in many ways an evolution from the ground-breaking R33 and R32 models. It was designed as a slightly more refined, more mature beast than its predecessors, offering improved handling, a smoother ride and enhanced interior comfort. The distinctive silhouette of the R34 sets it apart from its then (and arguably still) rivals such as the Honda NSX, Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7, and is considered a timeless design. Powered by the RB26 engine, a 2.6-litre twin-turbocharged in-line six-cylinder unit, the standard R34 was claimed to deliver 276bhp through all four wheels thanks to Nissan's ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. Unmodified, the R34 can reach 155mph." Läs mer!
