#8407 - Nissan GT-R (R35) Good Wood Festival of Speed
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 HPI resin
