Description
Since its introduction, the Skyline GT-R has been the undeniable king of the tuner CAR world. This book explains why. Along with an overview of Skylines since their debut in 1957, Author Alex Gorodji gives in-depth reviews of the last four generations of GT-Rs, including the new-for-2008 V35 the first iteration of the car to be sold in the U.S. Paying special attention to technical aspects such as the all-wheel steering and drive systems, the chassis, and the legendary six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, his work explains the GT-R to those who already admire the car, and to those who wonder what the excitement is all about.
