Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10

Shinichiro Sakurai · 1970

The KPGC10 is the two-door hardtop coupé version of the first Skyline GT-R, added in October 1970 to the four-door PGC10 that launched in 1969. It carried the same 2.0 L S20 four-valve inline-six, sat on a wheelbase 70 mm shorter, and was built in 1,197 units until 1972. Together with the PGC10 it won 49 consecutive Japanese touring car races.
