You could own Paul Walker’s Nissan Skyline GT-R for $1.35 million

Any Nissan Skyline GT-R that’s legal in the U.S. is a rare bird. One that was featured in the Fast & Furious movie and driven by the late Paul Walker, though, is virtually priceless.

And that’s exactly how it’s been valued: like a priceless work of art.

The German luxury and classic car restoration website GT-A is asking EUR 1,000,000 – around $1.35 million – for the world-famous car. Before you balk, consider that 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale will be going to Paul Walker’s charity Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW).

You’re not just getting a movie star of a car, though, for that hefty hunk of coin. It’s been seriously modded, making it not just a prop but also a proper road racer.

It features: Turbonetics front-mount Intercooler; Nismo Lowering Springs; Custom Roll Cage; ARC Titanium Strut Tower Bar; 19X11 Volk Racing RE30 Wheels; Rotora Big Brake Racing Conversion 6 pot front and 4 pot rear; Nismo Version II Bumper with side skirts; East Bear Hood; Rear Seat Delete (the lonely man special); Momo Sport Alcantara steering wheel; Nismo V-Spec NUR Pedals; Custom Head-Up Display for Dash-Mounted PC; MFD Xenarc Display unit with all gauges programed to the ECU of the car; Sony Head Unit; OMP Custom Seats and Lap 5 Point harness; Nismo NE-1 Exhaust; and Universal Pictures Rental Contract Copy.

Stateside buyers shouldn’t get too excited, though. The car is currently located in Munich, Germany. If you do buy it, you’ll have to have it shipped. Luckily, though, it has a Florida title. So you shouldn’t have too much trouble using it as your daily driver, let’s say.

Rivian R2 vs. Kia EV9: battle of affordable electric SUVs
Kia EV9 GT-Line Three Quarters

The long-awaited Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it's an excellent option for those who want an electric SUV that doesn't completely break the bank. Sure, the R2 isn't cheap -- but it's a whole lot cheaper than most other EVs out there, especially when it comes to SUVs. But Rivian isn't the only company trying to tackle the problem of the budget electric SUV. The Kia EV9 is finally available, and it too offers a modern design and a range of helpful features.

Given the fact that the Rivian R2 and Kia EV9 are two electric SUVs in a similar price range, you might be wondering which is better for your needs. That's why we put the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 head-to-head.
Design
Both the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 are actual SUVs -- not crossovers pretending to be SUVs, like plenty of other EVs out there. The two vehicles offer big, boxy designs and plenty of interior space, making them excellent options for families or those who need that extra storage.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
