The R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R is one of the most legendary sports cars of all time, and besides being on the road, it’s also made a name for itself thanks to video games like Gran Turismo and Forza. Today, the prices of collector’s items reach more than 100,000 euros in Europe and the car is one of the most sought-after sports classics around the world. Unfortunately, this also makes it a target for criminals.
At Nissan, they were recently shocked when they discovered that an R32 from the automaker’s historic collection had been stolen from the company’s headquarters in Australia. A spokesperson for Nissan in Australia confirmed for News.com.au that a rare sports car was stolen from the company’s headquarters in Melbourne. “Unfortunately, our original R32 GT-R was stolen and is now the subject of a police investigation,” said a spokesperson.
The vehicle is a dark red Skyline GT-R from 1991 with the registration number GTR 091. It is in perfect and original condition and was one of the first vehicles sold in the region. Nissan bought it in 2015 and used it regularly for promotional events. The value is around 154,000 euros, or 250,000 Australian dollars, he reports. Jutarnji.hr.
There are not yet many details about the theft or leads on the thieves, but Nissan Australia is working closely with police to locate the vehicle and the perpetrators. Police are asking anyone in the area to come forward if they have any information.
With only 100 examples of the R32 delivered to Australia between 1989 and 1994, the Skyline GT-R is one of the rarest cars in the country.
