Road Test

Nissan Skyline GT-R R33

Test date 15 October 1997  Price as tested £50,000

There are few frills to the Skyline’s cabin. From the moment you climb aboard it becomes clear that the interior has been designed with the committed driver in mind, which is why you’ll find a pair of fabulously supportive front seats, big, clear instruments and near-perfect location of all the controls, but little in the way of visual or tactile titillation. The dashboard is finished in a black plastic that looks no better than that of a humble Primera’s, but accommodation is better than any other 150mph-plus two-door.The costs are impressive too. Economy is not at all bad considering the ferocity of the performance: 19.6mpg overall, rising to 22.2mpg over our touring route. It shouldn’t lose too much money, firstly because it’s so desirable and secondly due to the limited availability of official Nissan cars.
