One manufacturer called Prince developed the first Japanese prototype racing machine, named the R380.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a powerful-in-line six-cylinder DOHC engine mounted amidships under a low and sleek body, the R380 won the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix race event and earned various world speed records in the following year. The PRINCE company merged with Nissan and unveiled a special 4-door sedan Skyline model during the 1968 Tokyo Motor Show. Priced at almost double that of other Skylines in the stable, it was transplanted with a de-tuned powerplant of the R380 racer's unit. This hot-blooded Skyline was launched into the market in February 1969, under the designation of GT-R. The 1,989cc DOHC 6-cylinder S20 type engine yielded 160hp of maximum output. In October 1970, the original 4-door sedan GT-R was replaced with a sportier, 2-door hard-top model.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIts designation \"R\" stood for racing, the Skyline GT-R virtually dominated Japanese racing circuits from the late 60's to early 70's. The 4-door and 2-door Skyline 2000 GT-Rs accomplished 50 respectable victories in domestic races during that period, setting up the famous \"GT-R legend\" among the Japanese motor racing enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the model\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit depicting the car which spawned a huge following after its release in 1970.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrom the refined straight lines of the overall design to the rear over fenders, the form of the car is captured in style.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAn opening hood allows inspection of the DOHC straight-6 engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFeatures accurate depictions of the suspension, spartan interior and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal-plated components are used for the front grille, bumpers and door handles.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTamiya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer item\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24194\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAM24194\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCar Model Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eScale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit depicting the car which spawned a huge following after its release in 1970.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-model-cars\"\u003eTamiya Model Cars\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-24-model-cars\"\u003eTamiya 1\/24 Model Cars\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-cars\"\u003eModel Cars\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-paints\"\u003eTamiya Paints \u0026amp; Modeling Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-models\"\u003eAll Tamiya Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67986233688138,"sku":"TAM24194","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/tam24194","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
