My GT7 Log: Know Your Legends - NISMO 400R

Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the NISMO 400R, an R33 Skyline GT-R with extreme performance, an outrageous price tag, and a legendary rarity to sum it up.

Based on the Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 model, the NISMO 400R is the extreme R33 built at the time Japanese carmakers limited their production sports cars to the 280PS power output limit. Built by NISMO in the hopes of producing the most extreme version of the Skyline GT-R, the 400R is powered by a 2.8L RBX-GT2 turbocharged engine, a more potent version of the legendary RB26DETT engine, producing a titular 400PS of power output. It even comes with a twin-plate clutch, carbon fiber propeller shaft, Bilstein dampers, front and rear stabilizers, and reinforced bushings for improved dynamics compared to the normal R33 Skyline GT-R. With only 44 of these made, each costing an ultra-expensive 12 million Yen, it is no doubt the most expensive Japanese car of its time.

Let's drive the NISMO 400R around the Goodwood track to see if this extreme R33 is the stuff of legends.

It did it in 1m27.738s.

For an R33 Skyline GT-R with extreme performance, an outrageous price tag, and a legendary rarity to sum it up, the 400R is no doubt the legendary Japanese sports car worth hunting for.
