FAST & FURIOUS - 1971 Nissan Skyline - 1:24

This superb miniature metal replica depicts the legendary 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R, an iconic car from the adrenaline-fuelled world of the Fast & Furious franchise, faithfully modelled on its remarkable retro-style appearance in the blockbuster fifth instalment, Fast & Furious 5.

The model incorporates the high-quality stylistic features of Jada Toys’ range of miniature cars, combining a heavy die-cast body with numerous functional moving parts. The mechanical model perfectly captures the raw, boxy, vintage look of this undisputed queen of ‘JDM’ (Japanese Domestic Market) culture, enhancing its classic aesthetic with an exclusiveflat black finish. True to the original feature film, it stands out for its meticulous period-accurate detailing, including its distinctive wing-mounted wing mirrors. The vehicle boasts advanced interactive features thanks to its opening side doors, boot and bonnet. Opening the panels reveals a realistic engine bay with a visible anti-roll bar, as well as a racing cockpit featuring bucket seats, a black roll cage and an original right-hand drive configuration. Designed specifically for display on a shelf, desk or in a showcase, this collectable is finished with real rubber tyres fitted to black sports rims with chrome trim. The product is presented in its original themed window box packaging, ideal for collectors.

In the roaring, spectacular chronology of Fast & Furious, the Nissan Skyline range occupies a legendary and deeply emotional place that is absolutely unique, inextricably linked to the legacy left by the character of Brian O’Conner (played by Paul Walker). Whilst audiences are accustomed to associating it with the ultra-technological modern models of the 1990s, the appearance of the 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R at the start of Fast & Furious 5 marks a passionate return to the roots of Japanese performance. Affectionately nicknamed "Hakosuka" in Japan (a blend of "Hako" for box and "Suka" for Skyline), this first-generation GT-R in automotive history is masterfully driven by Brian and Mia Toretto as they make their clandestine arrival in the bustling, impoverished streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. On the run internationally and hunted by federal forces, the elite duo chose this sleek vintage speedster for its visual discretion in the local underworld, whilst taking advantage of the exceptional agility of its chassis and the authentic roar of its sports engine to weave their way through the favelas. This miniature replica pays a vibrant tribute to classic imported performance, the mechanical purity of the 1970s and the indomitable spirit of a cult saga that continues to ignite the passion of collectors across the globe.
