Although the R35 no longer carries the “Skyline” badge, it has a heritage in the earlier models. Just like its predecessors, the “R32-R34”, the R35 is all-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine. But that's about all they have in common, the traditional Straight-6 RB26DETT engine has been replaced with a new V6 VR38DETT, also the four-wheel-steering HICAS system has been removed. The R35 with the chassis code CBA-R35 is carrying on the naming trend from previous Skyline GTR’s. It has also retained the nickname “Godzilla”.
