Celebrate Japanese performance and motorsport culture with this Skyline GT-R V8 Drift “Hakosuka” #10 Watanabe in Red and Cream, reproduced in 1:64 scale by Pop Race. Combining the unmistakable shape of the legendary first-generation Skyline GT-R with an aggressive V8 drift-car interpretation and vintage-inspired racing graphics, this highly detailed model brings together classic JDM heritage and modern custom-car culture.
“Hakosuka” is the enthusiast nickname commonly associated with the C10-generation Nissan Skyline, including the celebrated early Skyline GT-R. The name combines Japanese words associated with the car's boxy shape and Skyline identity, and today the Hakosuka is one of the most recognizable classic Japanese performance cars among collectors.
This Pop Race interpretation takes that historic silhouette in a very different direction. The V8 Drift configuration transforms the classic Skyline into a competition-inspired custom machine while retaining the squared-off body shape that makes the Hakosuka immediately recognizable.
The #10 Watanabe version features a striking red-and-cream color scheme with racing graphics and a purposeful competition stance. The combination is particularly fitting because Watanabe-style wheels have become closely associated with classic Japanese performance and racing cars.
Real rubber tires, detailed interior and exterior components, an opening hood and trunk, and a diecast metal body and chassis add collector appeal to the compact 1:64 presentation.
