In that, the GT-R was made by installing a
semi-racing engine of S20 type with a 2 litre series, 6 cylinder and DOHC24
valve.
At that time, it had the performance of
breathtaking maximum power of 160ps, maximum speed of 200 km/h, and 0-400m in
16 seconds, and in the race, it achieved 50 victories in total, including 49
successive victories by March 1972
(The first GT-R Skyline was called as
Hakosuka by fans. Hako means Box in Japanese, and suka is short for Skyline
(Pronounced as Sukairain in Japanese).
It is a racing car shining with lot of
glories like establishing the skyline legend. The GT-R, with the same engine as
the Hakosuka that won successive victories, can be driven in the ordinary road
run at the racing car level, and that is a popular thing that is indeed to be
welcomed.
The sales price of Hakosuka GT-R at that
time was 1.5 million yen, and at present the popularity is very high, so that
it not unusual to price the good car for more than 10 million yen.
It is very popular in the events where the
old cars are gathered, and that is not limited to Japan, and has a reputation
of having fans all over the world.
At present, in the NISSAN GT-R sold by
Nissan all over the world, the name GT-R came from the Hakosuka GT-R.
Especially, the engine sound of the S20
type engine in the Hakosuka GT-R is extremely wonderful.
I would like you to know that the reputed
car of Japan is not only fast and beautiful, but also has a wonderful engine
sound with a charm.
