2002 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V·Spec II Nür costs $485,000

Between 1999 and 2002, Nissan produced the fifth generation of its legendary sports car model based on the Nissan Skyline range, the Skyline R34 GT-R. Over time, this car became highly sought after among car enthusiasts, especially the V·Spec II Nür series, which was launched in 2002. Only 718 units of this series were produced, and one of them is up for auction.

This car is an ideal opportunity for enthusiasts to own a preserved Skyline R34 GT-R with only 362 km (225 miles) on the odometer. It is finished in Millennium Jade color while the interior is in perfect and can be said to be in factory condition.

The Skyline R34 GT-R is equipped with a special RB26DETT six-cylinder engine prepared for racing and modified using parts from the N1 GT-R motorsport specification. Although the documents state that the engine develops 280 hp, in reality this power is actually much higher. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission with an active limited-slip differential.

The car is priced at $485,000.

Rare Alfa Romeo SZ Trofeo is for sale

At the 1989 Geneva Motor Show Alfa Romeo unveiled a high-performance limited-production sports car, the Alfa Romeo SZ, developed in partnership with Zagato. It was produced between 1989 and 1991, and only 1,000 units left the production line. Less than 20 Trofeos were ever built and one of them, the Alfa Romeo SZ Trofeo, is for sale.

This car was produced before the 1993 Monaco Grand Prix and was used as a support vehicle, and later competed in several races in the 1993 Italian Supercar GT series. After that, it became part of the private collection of the Italian F1 driver Andrea de Adamich, who regularly drove the car. After 10 years, it was sold to Germany where it was registered for road driving.

Alfa Romeo SZ Trofeo is finished in Red and has always been meticulously maintained by Formula GT, who can confirm that everything is still original. What sets it apart from other examples are the Alfa Romeo badging, 16-inch OZ Racing wheels, and two racer seats in the cabin. The odometer shows less than 22,000 kilometers.

Under the hood is a 3.0-L Busso V6 engine, which is considered one of of the best V6 engines in history. The description states that the car was track-tested by Walter Röhrl (Spielberg), Karl Wendlinger (Mugello) and Joachim Winkelhock (Hockenheim), who were all equally impressed with the handling. The performance is very modest by today’s standards, but on many tracks it can still compete with much more modern monsters.

The car comes with comprehensive photo documentation, spare wheels and parts, and the current price is €185,000.

The best Grand Prix Collection is for sale

‘F1 Supremo’ or better known as Bernie Ecclestone, is a British businessman, motorsport executive and former racing driver. A great car enthusiast and collector, he owns one of the largest collections of F1 cars in the world, which is now for sale.

Bernie Ecclestone is the founder of the Formula One Group, and for years he collected and hid from the public some of the most incredible cars. The collection includes 69 cars, 17 of which are Ferraris, and one of them is the Dino 246, in which Phil Hill, Richie Ginther, Tony Brooks and Wolfgang von Trips raced. Mike Hawthorn won the championship in this car in 1958. There is also the Ferrari 275 F1, the first Ferrari to win an F1 race. Alberto Ascari was behind the wheel of this car in races in Italy and Germany. Also, there is the Ferrari F2002 from 2002, which was driven by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello and which recorded three victories.

“I have been collecting these cars for over 50 years, buying only the best examples. While many other collectors have opted for sports cars, my passion has always been Grand Prix and F1 cars. They are more important vehicles than any road car or any other type of racing vehicle, because they are the pinnacle of the sport. All the cars I have bought over the years have a fantastic history and are rare works of art. I love all my cars, but it is time to think about what will happen to them. them when I’m gone. That’s why I’ve decided to sell them. I want to know where they’ve ended up after I’m gone,” Ecclestone said.

The collection also includes 30 Brabham cars, which is to be expected since Ecclestone owned the Brabham F1 team from 1972 to 1985. During that time, he collected at least one example of every car that was built, including the 1981 car driven by Nelson Piquet, and the Brabham BT46B Fan Car driven by Niki Lauda at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix.

Ecclestone has a truly impressive car collection, and perhaps one of the best in the world, with an estimated value of more than $300 million.
