Among the pantheon of GT-R legends, the NISMO 400R stands in a class of its own. An ultra-limited masterpiece, engineered by NISMO not as a mere upgrade, but as a reimagination of what the Skyline GT-R could become. Only 40 known examples were ever created, and this particular vehicle is serial number 006, making it one of the earliest and most coveted units to leave the factory.

Born from NISMO’s Group A racing heritage, the 400R is powered by the RB-X GT2: a 2.8L twin-turbo straight-six developed in collaboration with REINIK. This beast pushes out 400PS with race-grade responsiveness and relentless torque. Reinforced internals and upgraded cooling make this car not only blisteringly fast, but astonishingly durable. It is as potent on the track as it is exhilarating on the street.

Visually, the 400R is instantly recognizable by its wide fenders, carbon fiber hood, NISMO aero kit, and iconic LM-GT1 wheels. Every line and contour was designed for aerodynamic efficiency and aggression. Inside, you'll find subtle refinements, a NISMO serial plaque, and the unmistakable sense of purpose only a true homologation special can offer.

This particular 400R also carries a unique provenance. Upon delivery, the original owner specifically requested that the iconic 400R livery not be applied by the Nissan dealership, resulting in a clean, understated exterior finish that showcases the car’s aggressive design without decals. Importantly, the original factory livery kit remains unused and is included with the car as a complete accessory set. This rare detail allows the next owner the freedom to preserve the vehicle in its most unaltered state or restore it with full authenticity. It’s a collector’s dream: a 400R preserved in its purest form, with untouched potential.

Now available exclusively at Toprank, this is a rare chance to acquire a machine that few will ever lay eyes on. This isn’t just a car—it’s a piece of NISMO history. A time capsule of 1990s motorsport excellence, crafted with passion, purpose, and precision.
