#8408 - NISSAN GT-R(R35) Nurburgring Test 2007
1/43 RESIN CAST MODEL
Discontinued
HPI's exclusive limited-edition 1/43 scale die-cast model
line-up now features the iconic Japanese supercar, the Nissan GT-R.
This is the latest version of the legendary Skyline series of
sports cars, code-named the R35. Although popular with sports car
fans around the world because of its low cost compared to exotic
brands from Europe and the fact it has remained a rear-wheel drive
car, the Skyline GT-R's popularity exploded in the mainstream when
it started appearing in hugely popular video games, comics and
movies since the mid-1990's. The Skyline models have always
showcased the latest driving technologies that Nissan engineers
could fit into a road-going car, and the GT-R continues this
tradition, with a twin-turbocharged 3.8 litre V6, four-wheel drive,
rear-mounted transmission, a top speed over 310kph (193mph) and
0-60mph time under 3.8 seconds. As proof of its supercar status,
Nissan engineers and drivers in May 2008 set a lap time of 7
minutes 29 seconds on the famed Nürburgring - just one second
slower than a 400,000 Euro Porsche Carrera GT. We are proud to
present the Nissan GT-R in a variety of actual production colours.
These models are extremely limited in production numbers because of
the special high-detail resin used for the moulds. Worldwide
quantities will be in the low hundreds. This particular model
replicates the actual test car that performed the 7:29 lap of the
Nürburgring! This model is a Japan-only release. HPI precision
die-cast metal models are 1/43 scale, a convenient size for any
desk or display case. Incredible attention has been paid to make
the shape of cars as true to scale as possible. Fine exterior
details like radiators, disc brakes, brake calipers, mirrors,
wings, exhaust, headlight buckets, mirrors, tow hooks and radio
antennae combine to make the models extremely realistic. Each car
has a fully painted and detailed interior, steering wheel, and
dashboard. These models come mounted to a display platform that
includes a clear plastic protective case and the car can be easily
removed from the platform for individual display. Every Nissan GT-R
model is made in a special resin material that
allows our designers to precisely replicate not just every curve
and shape of the original car, but every opening such as
door/bonnet lines and vent or grille. Compare a resin model with a
normal die-cast metal and you will quickly see the difference! Each
model is also sprayed with the actual production paint used on the
real car, to give you an authentic scale reproduction. Our resin
models are extremely fragile and the wheels do not rotate, so the model should be kept
mounted on its display stand. Remember: HPI resin die-cast
models are made in extremely limited quantities, once gone they
will never be available again. Collect all of the
