Nissan values fan opinion and there are few things more fun than discussing the merits of the companyâ€™s many racing cars. Thus, the Japanese manufacturer launched the #NISMOtop20 competition, pitting their most brilliantly engineered vehicles against each other in the ultimate consumer vote. The result? The Skyline GT-R R32 took the crown.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 was put up against the Blancpain GT Series, the Bathurst 12 Hour, and the GT300-winning GT-R NISMO GT3; the Super GT 2014/15-winning GT-R NISMO GT500l and the 2003 JGTC-winning Skyline GT-R R34.

Aside from its famous inclusion in Sony PlayStationâ€™s Gran Turismo video game series, the Skyline GT-R R32 has a long, distinguished history of excellence. Although Nissan only produced the vehicle for five years, it garnered highest honors across three continents. Of note is its Australian Touring Car victory in 1991 and 1992 with Bathurst 1000 victories both times. Even more fantastically, the racer took the top prize in each Japanese Touring Car Championship offered from 1990 through 1993.
