1964 Prince Skyline GT #39 Race Car (S54)

NAME: Prince Skyline GT

PICTURES:
(I will use images of a replica due to how hard it is to find decent quality images of the real car)






this is probably one of the most important Skylines, as this was the first Skyline race car that would be built, and would pave the way for future Skylines to be built

the Skyline GT was built as a purpose built race car, being based on the existing Skyline 1500, with modifications to fit in a new engine

Prince would enter in a few of these cars in a Japanese Grand Touring II race, while not winning the race outright, they would take 2nd-6th place, being successful enough to make road going versions sell out immediately

with that short story out of the way here are the specs (some of these specs may be unreliable due to lack of sources, some will be estimated):
this car uses a 2.0L naturally aspirated inline-6 engine
this car is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox
this car does 0-60 mph in 10.8s (estimate since performance specs relating to speed are hard to find)
top speed is 180 km/h (112 mph)
engine produces 104 hp @ 6,800 rpm
peak torque is 157 Nm (116 lb ft) @ 4,800 rpm
vehicle drivetrain is RWD
vehicle weight is 1,005 kg (2,216 lb, tends to vary a lot so this may be unreliable)
vehicle length is 4,300 mm (169.3 in)
vehicle width is 1,495 mm (58.9 in)
vehicle height is 1,410 mm (55.5 in)
vehicle wheelbase is 2,590 mm (102.0 in)

fictional name would be Prancer Skyridge GT
derby tier is 1
should be priced around 250,000
vehicle will be available as an event prize

acceleration is 8.7
handling is 14.3
braking is 12.7
race class is D 58
attack score is 40
defense score is 78

I feel like it’s getting so much harder to really find cool cars to suggest, this just so happened to pop up for me while searching early Skyline models
