Kenmeri

KENMERI is the nickname of the skyline of C110 model, manufactured and sold during 1973~1977.

In that, the GT-R was installed with the same S20 model engine of the predecessor Hakosuka GT-R

Because the GT-R had an engine that could not clear the standard value of exhaust emission regulations approved in 1973 immediately after the sale, only 197 vehicles was manufactured in the 3 month period. Therefore, it is the valuable and most popular car that cannot be easily seen at present.

Though the predecessor Hakosuka GT-R was a car that was always winning at the circuit, the Kenmeri GT-R was a heavy car, and occasionally ran in the circuit.

The popularity was not due to the performance of the car, but due to the installation of the S20 model engine, less number of cars production, and the labeling of GT-R. I think this car is popular even now due to the above points.

Though it is often said as running Hakosuka and rare Kenmeri, I often see the Hakosuka GT-R, but have seen a very few Kenmeri GT-R.
