Changes: Nissan Skyline

Revision as of 14:10, 14 May 2020

Description

The Nissan Skyline is a casting by Hot Wheels designed by Alec Tam that debuted for the 2002 First Editions series. The casting has a number of 52920.

The Nissan Skyline (Japanese:日産スカイライン) is based on the actual production model. This is the 1990 GT-R R32 version of the Nissan Skyline, designed by Alec Tam. The Hot wheels casting portrays a racing variation of the R32 with the rear seats removed and with a bodykit similar to the M's Factory widebody BNR32. The Nissan R32 was the first GT-R variation of the Skyline manufactured since the 2000GT-R in 1973. The R32's production would end in 1994, and would be succeeded by the R33 Nissan Skyline, and eventually, the R34 Nissan Skyline, and the related R35 GT-R.

This casting was a first in Hot Wheels history, being the first JDM car to be immortalized as a casting. It was originally produced with a plastic spoiler from 2002 to 2016 when it was discontinued.

It was retooled for the 2016 Night Burnerz 5-Pack, the casting has been modified; the casting's rear wing is no longer a plastic part of the interior piece, it is now cast into the car's body.

With the introduction of the Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32) for the 2019 Nissan series, this casting has been retired.
