Good news for Nissan Skyline fans: the Japanese car company has just rolled off the Skyline 200 GT-t. While it’s only been introduced in the company’s home country, there’s no harm wishing we’d see this on our roads too, right?
Slated to be available for sale next week, June 5, the car is sporting a new engine, a modified rear suspension and other features that will surely delight its fans. Nissan is only targeting to sell 200 of these per month with a tag price that starts at ¥3,834,000 (including tax).
Set to go on sale on June 5th, the model has a Mercedes-sourced turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 211 PS (155 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. The company declined to release detailed performance figures but said customers can expect an “exhilarating driving response and powerful acceleration.”
While Nissan is playing up the performance angle, they also pointed out the engine has been equipped with direct-injection, variable valve timing and an engine start/stop system. This, along with an electro-hydraulic power steering system, enables the car to return 13.6 km/L (7.3 L/100km / 31.9 mpg US / 38.4 mpg UK) in the JC08 cycle.
What do you think of this newest beauty from Nissan?
