SAMURAI 1/18scale Nissan Skyline GT-R Autech Version Tuned by NISMO [No.KSR18071Y]

Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Skyline, the R33 GT-R Autech Version 40th Anniversary was a rare 4-door GT-R, reviving the 4-door format for the first time in 28 years since the Hakosuka. Building on this unique model, NISMO applied further tuning, creating the GT-R Autech Version Tuned by NISMO.

The exterior features aero parts from the NISMO 400R complete car, including the front bumper and a dedicated rear spoiler. The car sits on forged magnesium wheels and is finished in a vibrant yellow reminiscent of the 400R. Performance upgrades include a Group A type metal turbo, high-performance intercooler, and a dedicated ECU, boosting output to 400 ps.

While this vehicle never reached mass production, it remains a dream machine for GT-R fans and car enthusiasts alike.

The Kyosho Original Mini Car Series was first introduced in 1991, 34 years ago. As the name suggests, it is a long-standing mini car lineup that represents Kyosho.

Today, the series is available in multiple scales such as 1/12, 1/18, and 1/43, but it originally began in 1/18 scale. Taking advantage of its relatively large size for a mini car, the series has, from the very beginning, excelled at combining accurate proportions of the real vehicles with a high level of detail reproduction, including engines and interiors.

A model primarily made from non-foamed polyurethane resin, commonly used for limited-production miniature cars. Because it uses molds different from those used in die-cast production, manufacturing volumes are lower, but it offers superior detail and accuracy in reproduction.
