Nissan GT-R SpecV Models by HPI Coming Soon
Following up their past special edition models, sources have leaked news that HPI will be producing a limited edition Nissan GT-R SpecV diecast 1/43rd scale in Ultimate Opal Black and Brilliant White colours in the coming months.
This compliments their existing plans to produce a Nismo Clubsport Package special edition GT-R model in the same 1/43rd scale die cast format.

If you’ve been holding out on getting a GT-R model car at all, this might be one to jump on. If history shows us anything it’s that this will sell out in a matter of days and they will not produce a second run. The Nismo Clubsport Package model is already pretty much sold out in pre-sales and will go up on auction sites for more than RRP soon after release.
GTR-World.net SuperGT GT-R Memorial Model Set – Pre-Orders Available
In spring 2008, five years after the last of the R34s raced in Japan, the GT-R once again returned to Japanese touring car racing. At the innagural race of the season, the Suzuka 300km, the Nissan R35 GT-Rs demonstrated overwhelming speed to secure pole position and then go on to win in first and second place.
In commemoration of the debut 1-2 win of the Nissan GT-R in the 2008 SuperGT series, GTR-World.net have put together this memorial model set. Featuring the GT500 Nissan GT-Rs of teams XANAVI NISMO and MOTUL AUTECH, modelled by Ebbro in 1/43rd scale and mounted in a clear display case. The display also features the autographed plates of the drivers Satoshi Motoyama, Benoit Treluyer, Michael Krumm and Masataka Yanagida.
Due out at the end of September the model set is limited to 2000 units and is likely to retail around the 15,500 yen mark plus shipping.

When we first broke the story of Ebbro’s upcoming 1/43rd scale Nissan GT-R back in early May we were bitter at the month long wait to get our hands on them but with no choice we tested our patience. It’s paid off because I forgot about them and now they’re here. Available initially in Dark Metal Gray, Pearl White and Ultimate Metal Silver these models are now available at all the regular stockists of Japanese models and toys. Price is around the 3,900 yen mark.
Hobby Link Japan is who I normally use and they’re showing stock available now but you better hurry, Ebbro are saying they’ve already sold out! More pics after the jump.
