1000+Hp Calsonic Skyline R32 GT-R || FULL BOOST Epic ONBOARD

This was on our opinion the absolute Highlight of the @GoodwoodRR SpeedWeek Shootout event which our Team was invited to a couple weeks ago. It´s the Calsonic Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R built by Ric Wood Motorsport and driven superbly by 26-year old BTCC driver Jake Hill, who completely "stole the show" on its final timed run. With Boost turned all the way up to 2.0 bars, making he RB26 Engine produce around 1020Hp, enough Torque to move Earth on its Axis, and all that transmitted to the ground through a 4 Wheel Drive system coupled to a Manual H-gated transmission, you can guess it made for nothing less than an incredible spectacle...

A true product of Ric Wood´s passion and craftmanship, this is a replica of the original Group A car, but the level of authenticity and attention to detail in the quest to emulate the original Group A "Godzilla" was such that it reportedly cost almost 500.000 Euros to put together. It also offers a glimpse of the true potential of a Race Car which was famously banned for being too quick for its competition, as we can see it being raced in anger in un-restricted form and making full use of the wonders of boosting.

Can we please lend a hand to the driver, what a lap, he made it look like the car was doing a ballet performed to rock music!

Look at that negative camber...and the width of those front tires...definitely need the grip it provides given torque and horse power...awesome!

Folks, make sure to read the description on this channel. There's a lot of relevant info about a given car and often its driver. This R32 is pretty amazing. Just sitting there, it still sounds like it's inhaling pets and small children. A rocket on the track.

That old school calsonic livery.. legendary

"power is nothing without control"
Calsonic R32: haha engine go

I remember back in the days of Playstation one, Gran Turismo is where some of us got to first learn of the greatness the Calsonic R32 had to offer. Cars like this in games made me go out and research the real life counterpart and it literally set a solid direction for my taste in cars.

Fun fact - The original Group A Japanese driver K. Hoshino wasn't sure about the capability of this car before the race, after test driving it he called the car a "monster" and "unbeatable". Also, due to the car's suspension setup, one of the car's front wheel is usually in the air when cornering.

Also goes to show that a racecar can still have reasonable ground clearance.

This Skyline has been my all time favorite. I was watching this in awe with my mouth open during the whole video

[bacibaroi]

I remember when this thing destroyed every other car on the track watching on tv as a kid and my dad cheering em on. Iconic livery. Also a proud owner of a 32 myself.

[slicktopjz]

Lol this is why they were kicked out of Bathurst in Australia

[ruanrocharbr]

i'm impressed with its quickness in cornerings!! never seen a car turning corners that fast

[-bitMicro]

One of the few videos where I can actually feel how fast this car is by watching it, I literally know every bolt in a R32 Skyline, that may add to it. What an incredible car this is!

[stickysx]

Its so good to see legends still doing their thing at the track. Awesome video as always guys!

[Cole_King]

The R32 GTR is the original and only Godzilla 🔥

[creepingjesus]

Love that! The way it rides the corners and shakes its head a little is so evocative of its generation. I now need to time travel to Bathurst, the BTCC and SCCA series of the time!

The thing that always gets me about this particular set up of the r32 is the sound. It’s absolutely terrifying. Sounds nothing like the street ones and they sound great don’t get me wrong but the group a side exits paired with the tune sound like a demon.

[cow]

F1 and GT cars: Big wings to go fast?
R32: That's cute.

Legendary machine, excellent driver!!
