"Fast and Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R Sells for Record Breaking $1.35 Million at Auction"

A 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R used in the movie Fast and Furious has sold for a record $1.18m at auction, making it the highest confirmed sale for a Skyline GT-R and the most expensive Nissan ever sold. The car was imported to the US without an engine by Kaizo Industries and was later impounded by customs officials before being released and exported to the Netherlands. The car has never been registered in the EU and may one day be eligible for US import under the 25-year rule. The car gained a large front-mount intercooler and a Nismo exhaust, and boost levels were turned up to get the engine delivering 550 horsepower.
