Skyline History 101 #1

[.S K A G E E.]

Its been used since the second GTR in Nissan's line up , the KPGC110 and still being used till today; the famous GTR emblem has not changed much for the last 30 over years. However, during its initial introduction , another car manufacturer had also lanched its car with a logo quiet similar to the GTR's.Though the acronym may be a bit different but they looked remarkably similar ,even down to the color scheme. As I'm unfamiliar with the other car manufacturer , I can't tell for certain who had copy whom...

Any guesses what manufacturer and what car am I talking about??

Hmmmm.... let's see... we have:

1) Toyota Celica GTR (or izit GT4?)
2) Mazda Familia GTR
3) BMW GTR (can anyone confirm this?)
4) Iswara GTR
5) Perdana GTR
6) Wira GTR
7) Kancil GTR
8) .... (add on)

Hi Guys, I not refering to the acronym 'GTR' as a lot of other car manufacturers do use it for their 'souped up' models. What I'm saying is the actual emblem we see on our GTRs..as I have said ;the acronym is slightly different but the color, letter placements and overall design is really similar.Ie: it doesn't say GTR but looks almost exactly like a GTR emblem.

Darkchild: Nice pics :). Is the porshce carrera GTR a flat nose version or is it a non 911?

 

[.S K A G E E.]

Aw..come on guys..no takers?.. alright, maybe a little insentive ; whoever gets the right answer will get a free lesson from supremeous on how to do a no handed bunny hop!

hint #2: The car in question still exist bearing the same acronym ( with a different emblem) and could be seen on Malaysian roads in some form or rather

 

[Jebu]

Ford Focus - GTR ??

dunno la ... come on.. tell la :P :P

 

[Supremus]

The day will come when i have broken jaw, fractured my ribs, sprained my limbs an lose my mind attempting the infamous NO HANDED BUNNY HOP.
