One of Japan’s all-time greats, Nissan’s legendary R32 Skyline GT-R was a technological Tour de Force conceived with one goal in mind – to dominate Group A Touring Car racing. Unveiled in 1989, Nissan’s engineers came up with the most sophisticated Japanese car yet, combining all-wheel drive and the Super HICAS all-wheel steering system with a sublime DOHC 2.6-litre in-line six. Conservatively rated at 276 bhp in road-going form (the real output was nearer 300 bhp), the R32’s high-tech RB26DETT engine was capable of achieving more like 500 bhp in full race specification, thanks four valves per cylinder and twin turbos.
