The first GT-R was called Hakosuka, a Japanese term for a box. The car was called that since it featured squared lines and a boxy profile. But underneath the sheet metal was some serious sports car technology, with a high-revving 2.0-liter six-cylinder engine and 160 hp. The Hakosuka GT-R had race-tuned brakes, steering, and independent rear suspension, which made it capable on the street and on the race track, too. Produced from 1969 to 1972, Nissan made just shy of 2000 examples.
