About the Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R KPGC10 #15 K. Takahashi Nissan Works JTCC 1972 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R KPGC10 reproduces Kunimitsu Takahashi's #15 Nissan Works car from 1972 Japanese touring car racing. Known to enthusiasts as the "Hakosuka," this GT-R generation built a winning-streak reputation still cited in Japanese motorsport lore.

The Hakosuka's boxy, purposeful shape hides just how dominant this generation of Skyline GT-R was in period Japanese touring car racing, and Kyosho's diecast puts that history on the shelf in genuine race livery.

The Hakosuka's Touring Car Dominance

Kyosho's tooling reproduces the KPGC10's flared rear wheel arches, a genuine racing modification over the standard road car, alongside the Nissan Works team livery and number 15 identification carried by Kunimitsu Takahashi's car. Takahashi remains one of Japan's most respected period racing drivers, and his Works Nissan campaigns with the GT-R helped build the model's reputation as a genuinely formidable touring car rather than simply a fast road-going sports coupe. The winning streak this generation built through the early 1970s is still cited today as one of the sport's most remarkable Japanese touring car records, though exact figures vary between sources.

A Foundational Name in Japanese Touring Car Racing

The KPGC10, built from 1970 to 1972, established the GT-R badge's competition credentials well before the nameplate became internationally famous through later generations, dominating domestic Japanese touring car racing during its short production run. Its success under the Nissan Works banner, with drivers like Takahashi at the wheel, gave the GT-R name genuine racing pedigree from its earliest days rather than a marketing invention added later. For a collector interested in the origins of Nissan's most storied performance nameplate, the Hakosuka represents that badge's founding chapter.

It anchors a Japanese touring car shelf with a subject whose racing reputation genuinely predates the GT-R's later international fame.
