The Nissan Skyline R31 GTS-R was born out of Nissan’s desire to compete in Group A touring car racing. By exploiting homologation loopholes, Nissan produced just over 800 units, meeting the minimum requirement for competition. The GTS-R featured a turbocharged engine and race-ready upgrades, making it a formidable contender on both road and track. This rare model’s legacy is built on clever rule-bending and engineering prowess. Learn more at Nissan Heritage and Car Throttle.
