Unlock and published figures

The NFS Fandom article for the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) says the unlock is: Complete URL Race 16 in Stage 5. I use that sentence as the obtain line. The car article does not print an in-game price, so I leave that cell empty. Stock numbers on the same article: 0-60 in 5.22 seconds, top speed 155.0 mph, 276.6 bhp, 220.4 lb-ft. The upgraded row reads 2.46 seconds, 213.0 mph and 494.0 bhp. Drivetrain AWD. The article ties the model to a 1999 2.6 L twin-turbo I6 (RB26DETT) 2-door coupe. Region on the roster: All regions. Stage label: 5.

How I use this article

For the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) the model article supplies the numerical specification; the roster supplies availability. Both belong to NFS Fandom and count as one publisher source. The job I will defend is Drag / all-round. A different car's article does not get to overwrite that.

Fandom calls the R34 strong in every mode and especially drag, and it also calls handling the weak side versus lighter rear-drive cars. I keep both halves. Dyno talk belongs on the drag page, not as a made-up shift point.

Why the Skyline search needs a late-game answer

This is the R34 Skyline GT-R entry, rather than a generic Nissan Skyline name covering several generations. The all-wheel-drive layout and late unlock distinguish it from the early rear-wheel-drive 240SX. A sponsor or quick-race unlock is also a separate question from buying the standard career car. If a code exposes a Skyline elsewhere in the menus, it does not necessarily satisfy the career progression line printed above. The car is a useful comparison for players who want traction-oriented handling after reaching the later roster. That is a use case, not proof of a universal fastest car. The wiki’s stock and upgraded specifications describe its recorded setups; neither substitutes for a ranking across every race type.

Evidence for the figures

The model article and roster are from the same publisher; listing both links does not create a second independent source.
