This dated footage of the 24 hours Tokachi International Speedway reveals more than once that back in 1995 different things were considered sexy:
No it doesn’t end with the car lineup (mostly Skyline R33s) but fast forward to 5:33 for some ladies, to 6:03 for Keiichi’s glasses and 6:27 for some 80s gran tourers in some two wheel action!

Looking at the en-profile shot of this Nissan Skyline I can understand why the KPC10 is so unloved: the lines are all wrong for the coupé when it has got the short nose. Now if it were a short nosed 4 door…
