Third Generation (1989-1994), R32
The GT-R model was revived after a 16-year absence 1989. Known as the R32, it was powered by a 2.6-litre DOHC inline 6-cylinder engine (RB26DETT) that produced 280 PS, this was the first GT-R model that incorporated the now trademark all-wheel drive (the previous generations were rear-wheel drive vehicles).
With its sophisticated electronically-controlled ATTESA E-TS and multilink suspension, the third generation GT-R holds the envious distinction of winning every single race it entered in the All-Japan Touring Car Championship.
