Aoshima 020493 1/24 Nissan KPGC110 Skyline HT2000GT-R '73

The fourth-generation Skyline, the C110 series, which underwent a full model change and was released in September 1972, became a huge hit immediately after its release. Thanks to the popular advertising slogan "Ken and Mary's Skyline," it became affectionately known as the "Kenmeri."

At the 19th Tokyo Motor Show that same year, the Skyline Hardtop 2000GT-R Racing Specification was exhibited. The excitement surrounding the release of the Kenmeri GT-R reached its peak. In January of the following year, 1973, deliveries of the Kenmeri GT-R began, but the GT-R, which used leaded high-octane gasoline, could not meet the Showa 48 (1973) exhaust gas regulations. Only 197 units (the exact number is subject to debate) of this vehicle were produced, and only 195 were sold before the model was discontinued.
