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

By Nick Jaynes Published February 4, 2014

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.

Slate Crayola Orange Car Render

If there was ever an electric truck that looked like it needed a splash of color, it was Slate's. The Bezos-backed startup has announced a new partnership with Crayola, bringing the iconic crayon maker's unmistakable palette to its minimalist electric pickup. And yes, one of the available colors is actually called Razzmatazz.

Self-driving cars keep getting in the way of first responders, and Uncle Sam just ran out of patience

Robotaxis are supposed to make roads safer, but first responders say they're becoming a real problem.

Waymo Jaguar I-PACE sensors close up

Self-driving cars are supposed to make our roads safer, but it seems that they are doing the opposite. NHTSA administrator Jonathan Morrison sent a letter to autonomous vehicle developers this week, and he didn't hold back. He called the pattern of driverless cars getting in the way of first responders "unacceptable," and said a car that can't safely handle an emergency scene is a danger to everyone around it.

Xiaomi built an SUV that doubles as a camping tent, and its range numbers are equally wild

A pop-up camping roof, 300 miles of electric range, and a gas extender for when the tent life takes you somewhere the grid hasn't reached yet.

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

Xiaomi went from selling smartphones to making profitable electric cars and turned profitable in just two years, a feat that took Tesla a decade.

Now, the automaker has unveiled a whole new EV sub-brand called Sky Nomad; it’s answer to the outdoor and family lifestyle market. What’s even more interesting is the lineup’s first vehicle could come with a built-in retractable roof that literally pops up into a camping tent.
