Bring together classic Japanese performance styling and modern drift-car attitude with this Nissan Skyline GT-R V8 Drift “Hakosuka” #12 Calsonic in 1:64 scale by Pop Race. Finished in the unmistakable blue Calsonic-inspired racing livery, this heavily modified Skyline combines one of Nissan's most iconic early GT-R designs with an aggressive V8 drift interpretation.
The original first-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R became one of the foundational cars in Nissan's performance history. Today, enthusiasts commonly refer to the early C10-generation Skyline as the “Hakosuka,” a nickname derived from Japanese words associated with its boxy Skyline shape.
Rather than reproducing a factory-stock Hakosuka, Pop Race takes the concept in a dramatically different direction. This V8 Drift interpretation transforms the classic Skyline into a purpose-built performance machine with an aggressive lowered stance, widened bodywork, racing details, and the visual character of a competition drift car.
The blue #12 Calsonic graphics add another layer of Japanese motorsport character. Calsonic's blue racing liveries became closely associated with Nissan competition cars, making the color scheme instantly recognizable to generations of JDM and motorsport enthusiasts.
Pop Race recreates the car in compact 1:64 scale with a diecast metal body and chassis, detailed interior and exterior, real rubber tires, and functional opening hood and trunk. The model is configured in right-hand drive (RHD), complementing its Japanese performance-car identity.
For collectors of Skyline GT-Rs, JDM cars, drift machines, racing liveries, or Pop Race models, this is a particularly distinctive interpretation of the legendary Hakosuka.
