Some enthusiasts who want to own a "Fast & Furious" Nissan Skyline R34 model simply go out into the world and buy one for as much as $577,000. It's no joke because this particular GT-R V-Spec II had some seriously astounding work done, upping the rookie performance figures from the 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six RB26DETT powerplant to greater heights. Not only that, but the price was so high, mainly due to Paul Walker himself driving it for no less than 18,000 miles or 28,968 kilometers while on various promotion tours.
Others who can't afford the mansion-priced sports car can buy a digital version in Fortnite, but even that's not cheap. The "Fast & Furious Nissan Skyline Bundle" costs 2,500 V-Bucks and features a few vanity items. The Skyline is available until October 19.

The car liveries include the Reel Life, Clean Cut, The Clutch, Twilight Skyline, Home Stretch, 2Bold, 2Cool, and 2Tuff. The bundle also offers two wheel rim colors: gray and black. If you buy it, you can use it in the Battle Royale modes or the now-dying Rocket Racing "game within a game."

Getting back to the price, 2,500 V-Bucks don't come cheap. For example, 1,000 V-Bucks cost $9 in real dollars. The 2,800 pack costs $23, and the 5,000 V-Bucks pack is $37, but the latter is overkill just for the Skyline alone.

If you really want to go overboard, the top-of-the-line 13,500 V-Bucks pack costs a whopping $90. In 2024, the typical AAA or big-budget game like Silent Hill 2 costs $70. You can also literally get tens of discounted racing games for 90 bucks, not to mention Hot Wheels models.

The Skyline's engine sounds amazing in-game, but if you want to really feel the ride in all its glory, you can also find the vehicle in Gran Turismo 7. On the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro console slated for November 7, GT 7 will feature enhanced visuals up to 8K60fps, provided you have an 8K screen.

However, the bell of the visual ball is the new 4K real-time ray-tracing mode that boasts realistic car reflections, making the game more lifelike than ever. Similar graphical upgrades also apply to other PS5 Pro Enhanced titles like F1 24, The Crew Motorfest, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us Part II, etc.

If you're not a fan of Gran Turismo, maybe The Crew Motorfest is more up your alley. In that case, check out this week's discounts while they last. The Japanese Custom Vol. 2 bundle is 20% off at 905,915 Bucks or 129,359 Crew Credits and contains the 1994 Nissan 300ZX Z32 Malu Edition (Street Car), the 2010 Mazda RX8 (Street Car), and the 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (Racing Car).

Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Motorsport also modeled the Skyline to showcase its 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged straight-six powerplant, which can unleash 327 hp and 293 lb-ft (397 Nm) of torque with no issues whatsoever.

It's astonishing how famous this vehicle is, appearing in almost every major racing game ever made. Luckily, enthusiasts have no shortage of titles to choose from.
