The origin of the Skyline in the Fast and Furious franchise

The Nissan Skyline GTR-34 first appeared in the 2 Fast 2 Furious prelude, called “Turbo-Charged.” Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Connor then famously drove it in 2 Fast 2 Furious with platinum paint and a blue racing stripe.

A similar Skyline with a different color appeared later in the series' ninth installment, F9. It’s become iconic over the years, rivaling the muscle cars driven by Vin Diesel’s character Dominic Toretto. Could those join the Nissan Skyline in Fortnite next?

Perhaps the best part of this entire Fortnite x Fast and Furious collab is the use of Ludacris' “Act a Fool,” the Grammy-nominated song featured in 2 Fast 2 Furious. The Nissan Skyline Bundle will remain available until October 18.
