GT5 Transcripts/Nissan SKYLINE 2000GT-R (KPGC110) '73

The C10 Skyline, nicknamed the "Hakosuka" (meaning box skyline), handed the baton to a new model in September 1972. The new model C10 was given the nickname "Kenmeri" from its commercials and was an explosive hit immediately after its debut.
The body had a fluid form, omitting all unnecessary lines. However, it still had the surface lines and the four round headlights that were identifying marks of the Skyline.
The GT-R emblem returned to this Kenmeri in the following year, in January 1973. The model code of this GT-R was KPGC110, and it was equipped with the same legendary engine, the S20 inline 6-cylinder. There was no change in the 157 HP maximum power and 130.1 ft-lb maximum torque. The front strut and rear semi-trailing arm suspension was also the same as the previous GT-R, but the new 4-wheel disc brakes were an advancement.
With a size of 175.5 inches in length, 66.7 inches width, and 54.3 inches height, it looked one size larger than the "Hakosuka".
If all went well, this Kenmeri GT-R should have won many battles on race circuits as well, but what this car had to fight was the rising emissions regulations.
The S20 was almost a pure racing engine and could not overcome this fierce foe. So Nissan made a difficult decision. After only 3 months and 197 cars built, this Kenmeri GT-R disappeared, without ever having fought in a race. Thereafter, Nissan would seal away the GT-R emblem for 16 years, until its comeback with the R32.
