Tonight on from NPPS... :cool

My favorite car from the JDM movement has to be Nissan Skyline. I mean look at it!


300 horses (okay, 280)


All-Wheel-Drive


Twin-Turbo I6 (Thanks Chris!)


0-60 in 4.5 secs and 1/4 mile in 12.7

This car also happens to be one of my favorite earlier models. I'm so glad I finally took it out for a photoshoot. Now I gotta put all 30+ boxes back in the closet... :cry :giggle

Beautiful car! I have it in the same color (Bayside Blue). Best color for it in my humble opinion.

Also, regarding the horsepower, I heard a little while ago that no car in Japan can have more than 276bhp (280PS, 205Kw). So, the bhp is always stated as 276 (for example in the GT games). But, the car does actually have 300bhp.

Anybody know if that's true?

MB's right. There are no more horsepower 'limits' in Japan and that's why the next wave of sports car engines will be capable of making 400-450 horses! I hope that doesn't mean higher prices, though. :scared

The 278bhp gentlemen's agreement has been thrown out ages ago. The manufacturers simply report their cars to be 278bhp when they are already in the 300bhp+ range.
The horsepowers are simply getting too high nowadays to lie about it so the manufacturers opted to report more accurate values. :giggle
