Autech Four-Door GTR Sedan

When Nissan first introduced the original Hakosuka Skyline GT-R in the late ’60s , the only body style available was a four-door sedan. Shortly after, the GT-R would be moved the two-door Skyline platform and it would be quite some time (40 years to be exact) until a Skyline GT-R sedan would appear again. In 1998 Autech released a limited production four-door R33 Skyline GT-R, which paid homage to the original Hakosuka sedan. The Autech car featured all of the high tech GT-R items including the ATTESA E-TS AWD system (man, that’s a lot of letters) , the RB26 engine, and widened GT-R style body work. Today they are very rare to see, so I was surprised to find this all-original example in Tokyo earlier this year. Until we see the oft-rumored R35 sedan, GT-R nuts with families to haul will have to stick with this…
