Hot Wheels Fast & Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32)
To New Zealanders, the R32 GT‑R isn’t just another Japanese performance car — it’s part of our motorsport DNA. Black, purposeful and brutally effective, the Skyline earned its reputation long before Hollywood ever noticed. By the time it appears in Furious 7, it already carried decades of credibility.
In the film, a black R32 GT‑R is seen during the funeral scene for Han and Gisele — a quiet, respectful moment that suits the car perfectly. No noisy heroics, no spectacle. Just presence. This Hot Wheels release captures that understated authority, celebrating a machine that forged its legend on racetracks and roads across Australasia. About the Real Car

More than any other model, the R32 GT‑R forged the Skyline legend. Its dominance at the Bathurst 1000 — winning outright in 1991 and 1992 — earned it the nickname “Godzilla" and permanently reshaped how Japanese cars were viewed in Australian and New Zealand motorsport.
That success resonates even more strongly on this side of the Tasman thanks to Kiwi driver Jim Richards, whose victories behind the wheel helped cement the GT‑R’s place in local enthusiast history. For many New Zealand collectors, the R32 isn’t just admired — it’s revered. This casting honours that legacy, tying together motorsport excellence, Fast & Furious mythology and deep‑rooted JDM culture. Technical Details
