Nissan Gloria Gran Turismo Ultimate

The Gloria Gran Turismo Ultimate represented Nissan's peak luxury-performance fusion in the 1990s. Sharing the legendary RB25DET turbocharged inline-6 with the Skyline, it offered sports car performance wrapped in executive sedan refinement. The Ultimate edition featured Nissan's most advanced automatic transmission, HICAS four-wheel steering, and sumptuous interior appointments. This rare variant combined the best of both worlds: respect-commanding presence for business occasions and exhilarating performance when the mood struck, embodying Japan's bubble-era excess and engineering confidence.
