McLaren F1 GTR

 

The McLaren F1 GTR is a high performance racing version of the standard McLaren F1 used in GT racing. Designed by Gordon Murray and powered by a 6.1L BMW S70/2 V12, the F1 GTR was a successful race car, winning 38 races of the over 120 races it participated in. The car was manufactured in numerous different configurations. 28 chassis of the 106 F1s produced were GTRs; these were raced as late as 2005.

The base of early versions of the casting reads McLaren F 1 GTR. Despite the name, this casting actually depicts a McLaren F1 LM as it features the two side seats not present on the GTR racing models. The casting lost its plastic wing when it entered the mainline for the first time in 2017; the plastic wing reappeared in 2018 when it was used in the Gran Turismo series as well as the Gulf Car Culture series due the fact the original casting tool still exists in the Thailand factory.

Land Rover Defender 90

 Born from the dissolution of British Leyland, the Land Rover Defender was an update upon the Land Rover Defender 110 Series introduced in 1990. The main reason for the name update being the 1989 introduction of the Land Rover Discovery. Due to its 4WD setup and Turbo Diesel options the Defender enjoyed use by civilians, various businesses and even by military and law enforcement (particularly in the United Kingdom where it originated). The Land Rover 90 Defender was the 2-door short-wheelbase version of the Defender with the aforementioned 110 model being the long-wheelbase version.

Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)

The Nissan Skyline GT-R is a series of sports cars based on the Nissan Skyline range, produced from 1968 to 2002. The car's fifth and final generation, designed by Kozo Watanabe and internally designated the GF-BNR34 (shortened to R34), was introduced in 1999 as a successor to the E-BCNR33 generation of the Skyline GT-R. The R34 was shorter and had less front overhang compared to its predecessors; the same 2.6L RB26DETT twin-turbocharged inline-6 was used with the R34, although it was now mated to a 6-speed Getrag manual. A number of special edition models were produced, including the V·Spec, V·Spec II, V·Spec II Nür, M·Spec and R- and Z-Tune. Production ended in 2002 with 11,578 produced. In recent years, the R34 has become a cult classic due to its appearance in various forms of media and has attained a sizable following among the various echelons of Japanese automobiles.

This casting is based on a Nissan Skyline GT-R R-Tune. The casting was retooled in 2014 with the wing cast into the body as opposed to being a separate piece. Since 2019 this casting has been referred to as the Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR34).
