The 1973 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC110) occupies a unique place in automotive history. Often called the Kenmeri GT-R, it was produced during a turbulent period marked by emissions regulations and the oil crisis, which limited its motorsport impact and production numbers. Ironically, those constraints helped transform it into one of Japan’s most revered performance icons. AUTOart’s 1:18 tuned version does justice to that legacy. The model features opening panels throughout, a meticulously rendered engine compartment, and a correctly proportioned interior that reflects the car’s purposeful, driver-focused design.
