The Nissan Skyline is a line of compact, sport and executive cars originally produced by the Prince Motor Company but then by Nissan after the comanies merged in 1966. The Skyline was largely designed and engineered by Shinichiro Sakurai from inception and he remained a vital influence of the car until his death in 2011.
The Skyline is available in either coupe or sedan body styles but even station wagon, convertible, crossover and pick up delivery van styles. The Skyline's prominence and popularity in movies, video games and magazines resulted in many imports of the car from 1989 to late 2005 by Motorex. Most models are rear wheel drive with a four wheel drive being available since the eight gen and the later models are most commonly known by their trademark round brake and tail lights. The eleventh gen was another major turning point for the skyline, as it dropped some of the previous generation's trademark characteristics such as the straight-6 engine, which was replaced by a V6, and turbocharging, which eventually distinguished itself and thus seperated the GT-R into its own line.
