CTOnews.com, July 12 (Xinhua)-- A badly damaged Nissan Skyline GT-R recently sold for nearly $140000 (CTOnews.com Note: about 1.009 million yuan) at an Australian auction.

Manheim auction house recently auctioned a 2005 Skyline GT-R R34 car with a hammer price of $122000, plus a 13.45% auction fee of $138500.

Nissan began to launch the fifth generation Skyline GT-R (code name BNR34) in January 1999. Compared with the previous generation, the car has a more muscular body, a much shorter wheelbase and a 0-100kmh acceleration of only 4.8 seconds.

The fifth generation model is equipped with a 5.8inch LCD multi-function display on the central console, which can provide information such as turbocharging value, oil temperature, water temperature, front wheel torque distribution and so on. The temperature of the air inlet and exhaust pipe can be displayed on the V-Spec version.

One of the main reasons for the high price of the car in Australia is that Nissan's Skyline R34 GT-R was never officially imported into Australia, and some private owners shipped sample cars from Japan, which is relatively rare in Australia.

According to the auction list, the special model was first registered in Australia in December 2005-nearly three years after the completion of production of the R34 Skyline GT-R-but has since been damaged at the bottom of the front body after the crash.

CTOnews.com learned from the report that someone personally inspected the car and found that its engine block had been broken by the impact, and that if they wanted to replace the twin-turbocharged 2.6L inline six-cylinder engine, its new owner would have to consider the extra cost.
