A Limited Edition to honour the 45th Anniversary of Six generations of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. The first real-world, everyday Supercar.

Only 100 Examples were to be built for the world with just 5 being sold in the UK. Making it one of the Rarest Supercars made.

Launched in the UK at a Test day at Millbrook Proving Ground in late May 2015 for Journalists. The unique feature of this edition was the paintwork. Finished in Nissan ‘Champagne Gold’ – Actually called Silica Brass but called Champagne gold for the UK market. A colour that was taken from the GT-R M Spec R34 edition of 2001. A colour, on this edition that has mixed opinions, personally for me, it works for the rarity alone. The wheels were unique to this edition too.

The 45th Anniversary edition is based around the GT-R Premium Black specification with the usual 542 bhp 3.8 Twin Turbo engine, very little seemed to have changed. A price of £79,780 was about £1700 over the price of a standard car at the time.

But with its unique colour, subtle interior plaque and a number edition on the engine slam plate with its (1 of 100) unique number, this will go down in history as one of those cars that were just different and will command a premium in the years to follow.

__________________________

Now the time has passed, it’s now known just 79 cars were sold in the world. Initially, the edition was to be sold purely in Japan with a limited number of only 45 cars but was then decided to roll out the edition for a worldwide market, but Limited to 100 cars. Some of the Japanese models had a choice of Black or Red Interiors.

______________________________________________

In total only 34 of the cars were RHD. The United States were to get 30 cars but just 27 sold there. Australia got just 4 cars, all being RHD. In Japan, they received 45 cars – although only 25 sold and all were RHD. Just 5 Cars were sold in the UK, including the original press car (which was later believed to have been wrapped black and maybe now out of the country). The remaining 16 cars were split around the UAE areas. Another two are unknown but LHD.
