Sinossi
Quick - which car has the most cultish following? Nope, not the Italian supercars that ooze speed and millionaire status, or the German sedans with their bruising horsepower and rich interior leathers. Instead, it's a Nissan. This is the true story of a giant-killer: the Nissan Skyline GT-R, a car that could only have come from Japan. Its sleek silhouette and delicate balance joined a powerhouse engine and clever technology, capable of smoking high-priced rivals. The Nissan Skyline GT-R dominated on the track and bred outlaw culture on the road. Video games and films spread the word globally. But the GT-R was made for Japan. In the US, strict import laws meant that if caught, GT-R owners risked the threat of watching helplessly as their car was hauled off to the crusher. Now the law is nearly expired. Some collectors eagerly await their dream car, while others face prison time. All for the cult of GT-R.

Cult of Gt-R (Paperback)
Da: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is the tale of the world's most coveted car. Nissan produced three versions of the hallowed Skyline GT-R sports car, the 'Holy Trinity' Skylines that became a cultural phenomenon. The problem was, they were illegal in the U.S. This is the story of the people who wanted it anyway. It's the story of the people who evaded authorities and tangled with regulators. It's a story about video games and anime, The Fast and the Furious, and the dark origins of U.S.-Japan relations. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Slow Car Fast in 2019, author Ryan ZumMallen parses through this complicated world to go inside the GT-R community -- both in the U.S. and Japan. Informed by his experiences behind the wheel, and deep in courthouse basements, Cult of GT-R moves as briskly as the street racers who pushed the Skyline to its limit. and beyond. The Nissan Skyline GT-R was a giant-killer. It dominated the 1990s - on the track, in illegal street racing, and even video games. But the GT-R was never allowed in the U.S. Some risked everything to own one. All for the cult of GT-R.
