The Nissan Skyline is a long running line of Japanese cars that began in 1957 with the Prince Motor Company and passed to Nissan when the two firms merged in 1966. It was sold mainly as a coupe or a sedan, with station wagon, crossover, convertible and pickup bodies also appearing over the years, and most were rear-wheel drive, with part-time all-wheel drive arriving with the R32 generation. Early cars shared their chassis and some engines with the Nissan Laurel, and the eleventh generation V35 replaced the traditional straight-six with a V6 and moved onto the platform shared with the 350Z. Its most famous branch, the GT-R, grew into a separate model, and outside Japan the V35 onward was sold as the Infiniti G-series.
