1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - Hot Wheels Brick Shop

The 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R is the latest car to be added to the Hot Wheels Brick Shop. The brick-built set is designed to recreate the classic Japanese sports car with accurate details and proportions.

The 1:16 scale model is made from 833 pieces. Features include opening doors, an opening hood, working steering and licensed Yokohama tires.

The Skyline can be built with a stock appearance or customized with racing parts, including a front splitter, headlight covers, and an external oil cooler.

The set also includes interchangeable wheel covers, a custom decal sheet and metal parts, including 8-spoke wheel covers and a signature display plate.

A matching 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R is included with the set.

The original Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R debuted in 1969 as a four-door sedan, followed by a two-door coupe in 1971. It was powered by a 2.0-liter inline-six engine producing 160 horsepower.

The first-generation Skyline GT-R is nicknamed "Hakosuka," a combination of the Japanese word "hako," meaning box, and an abbreviation of the Japanese pronunciation of Skyline. The nickname refers to the car's boxy shape.

The Skyline GT-R became a major success in Japanese touring car racing, earning 50 victories by 1972 and helping establish the GT-R's racing reputation.

The 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R is the first Nissan model released in the Hot Wheels Brick Shop lineup. The set is expected to be available in January 2027 with an MSRP of $59.99.
