The idea of a Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 Wagon may seem absolutely bizarre but in the mid-1990s, one such car was created. You’ll probably either hate it or love it.

Vistec R Imports writes that the car was built by Japanese automotive magazine Option in 1996 and unveiled at the Nagoya Performance Car Show. The man behind the project was Daijiro Inada, the founder of Option as well as one of the two men responsible for establishing the D1 Grand Prix and transforming the art of drifting into a worldwide sport.

The project seen here through pictures shared to us by Chars_ill started off with a regular R33 GT-R that received the rear canopy of a Nissan EXA and Inada then set about making the vehicle as fast as possible.We don’t have all that many details available about the powertrain but understand it is a fully-built version of Nissan’s iconic twin-turbocharged RB26, perhaps with upwards of 1,000 hp on tap. The car was an absolute beast back in the day and managed to lap Japan’s Tsukuba circuit in 1:04.452. That’s quicker than a McLaren F1 and faster than many modern performance cars like the 997-generation Porsche 911 GT3, Mk I Audi R8 V10, and the Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG.

The car, known as the ‘Speedwagon,’ was also a weapon in a straight-line and could run down the quarter-mile in just 11.89 seconds and top out at 189 mph (304.8 km/h).

Back in late 2018, the car hit the market but it’s unclear if it was ever sold or if it is still available.
