Hot Wheels PREMIUM Boulevard 99 Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32)

The Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32) — the iconic R32 GT-R (product number HRT74) — is a 1:64 scale collectible model car from the premium Hot Wheels Boulevard line, where it occupies position number 99 in the 2024 release. It is a proposition for die-cast collectors and enthusiasts of JDM automotive culture and legendary Skylines who value faithful reproduction and high-quality craftsmanship.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32) casting debuted in 1:64 scale in the Hot Wheels range in 2019. In the Boulevard 99 release, the model comes in white, featuring the characteristic angular silhouette of the R32, detailed headlights, round taillights, and opening doors. In keeping with the Boulevard series standard, the construction is full metal (Metal/Metal), and the car rolls on rubber Real Riders tires mounted on realistic wheels. The Hot Wheels Skyline GT-R 99 model was manufactured in Thailand and is sold in a collectible, numbered blister pack with EAN code 194735185610.

The prototype for this model is the BNR32-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R (colloquially the R32) — the third generation of the GT-R lineage, designed by Naganori Ito and produced between 1989 and 1994. The car was built with Group A racing in mind: it is powered by a 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six RB26DETT engine producing 280 hp (in accordance with the Japanese "gentlemen's agreement" of the time), transferring power to all wheels via the ATTESA E-TS system, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The R32's dominance in touring car racing earned the car the nickname "Godzilla," and today, this generation of the GT-R is considered one of the most important JDM classics.

The collectible value of this release stems from the combination of an iconic, recognizable JDM prototype with premium Boulevard specifications (full metal, Real Riders tires, opening doors, numbered packaging). The Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR32 HRT74 is a collectible model that looks great in a display case and serves as a valuable addition to collections of Japanese cars, Skylines, and the Boulevard series.
