Driving the big-torque 370GT Skyline coupe on a winding road with a 6-speed manual is surely a dream come true…. The combination of a talkative front end and active rear steer allows for tremendous cornering speed and body control, while excellent stability control lets the driver know when he or she is pushing the limits, facilitates attitude recovery, and allows the car to take corners in a truly rhythmic manner. Clearing corners…. It easily lets you know that this car is very forgiving to go fast…. It is a car that reminds you that the DNA of the Skyline has flowed through it….

Although the car is only a little more than 10 years old, such an “interesting car” has disappeared from the lineups of manufacturers in today’s global automobile market. In this sense, you may have noticed that the concept of “used cars” is changing.

The 11th generation Skyline Coupe, the successor to the CV35 Skyline Coupe released in 2003, was fully remodeled in October 2007, one year after the V36 sedan. It is equipped with dramatic styling, a refined driver-oriented interior, and a newly developed 3.7-liter V6 engine with VVEL variable valve system, and is loved by Skyline enthusiasts all over the world.

This VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) engine, which was also installed in the Fairlady Z of the same period, continuously changes the angle and lift of the intake valve in response to acceleration and speed, and the perfectly symmetrical air intakes increase intake air volume and reduce pumping loss The symmetrical air intakes increased intake air volume, reduced pumping loss, and greatly improved responsiveness….

The engine, which blows up smoothly and lightly to the red line of 7,500 rpm, boasts of low fuel consumption and clean exhaust that is unique to the current era, while its greatest selling point is its good response that allows the massive, massive body to be accelerated easily with big torque. The car’s dynamic speed ride against the square of its mass, like the law of inertia, has the ability to make the Skyline party of yesteryear roar…!

Its distinctive appearance is sure to catch the eye of car enthusiasts, and the design of the fenders flowing from the glamorous front to the rear is truly dynamic…! The expressive front mask, which combines the Skyline’s characteristic fender lines with a low, rhythmic, wavy hood, enhances the car’s commanding presence….

The interior is a modernized European style, a hallmark since the millennium, and is a concentration of innovative modern technology…. The Skyline Coupe is marketed with the goal of surpassing its North American rival, the BMW 3 Series Coupe… How could this car not be fun?

First, open the long, heavy doors and get into the interior….
The comfortable, enveloping driver’s position and supportive seats designed with “driving pleasure” in mind were marketed with the goal of surpassing the BMW 3 Series Coupe in North America, and the dual-stitched leather seats and other features are designed with the driver in mind. The high quality space is filled with an atmosphere where you can enjoy the time you spend sitting there….

The perfect balance of first-class tailored engine characteristics and body rigidity will intoxicate those behind the steering wheel…!
The CV36 370GT Skyline Coupe is equipped with a front midship 3.7L V6 VQ37 VVEL engine with big torque, the largest in its class, and the high body rigidity of the FR-L platform…! In addition, the matured speed-sensitive 4WAS equipped in this Type S has the steering link angle adjusted exquisitely, and the massive 370GT’s body turns “quickly” like a light-weight sport car in a series of corners. This is what makes the 370GT so unique. Furthermore, when driving at high speeds, the 370GT’s body size provides the stability and smoothness that are only possible with such a vehicle.

The matured Skyline…! I am sure that I am not the only one who nodded his head in agreement…!
