The legendary status of the Nissan Skyline GT-R was cemented by the early R32s, helped in no small part by their impressive performance in Group A motorsports. That said, Nissan also outfitted the hopped-up Skyline for other types of racing, including the near-stock Group N. This particular car played a huge part in the history of its success, and now we can watch it attack a Swiss hill climb course.
YouTube extraordinaire Robbert Alblas was at the recent Bernina Gran Turismo event in Switzerland, which is where this hill climb footage was captured. Even by modern standards, the GT-R looks like a wonderful partner when things get quick, and looks as surefooted as ever. Of course, the noise of that inline-six engine breathing through some turbochargers doesn’t hurt the appeal either.
