A rare Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 was stolen from the automaker’s private collection in Australia. Nissan acquired the model in 2015 and used it in promotional events.

Valued at approximately $170,000 USD, the vehicle is one of 100 registered in the country and has a notable history, being one of the first cars sold in the region.

The Victoria Police are investigating the case, and Nissan is cooperating with authorities to locate the car and identify those responsible for the theft. The model in question is a 1991 dark red Skyline GT-R, last seen at Nissan’s headquarters in Melbourne.

With a rich history in Australian motorsport, the R32 Skyline GT-R competed in the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC) in the 1990s, winning several titles. Due to its rarity and value, the car is an attractive target for criminals, and Nissan hopes to recover this important piece of its collection.
