You could own Paul Walker’s Nissan Skyline GT-R for $1.35 million

Any Nissan Skyline GT-R that’s legal in the U.S. is a rare bird. One that was featured in the Fast & Furious movie and driven by the late Paul Walker, though, is virtually priceless.

And that’s exactly how it’s been valued: like a priceless work of art.

The German luxury and classic car restoration website GT-A is asking EUR 1,000,000 – around $1.35 million – for the world-famous car. Before you balk, consider that 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale will be going to Paul Walker’s charity Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW).

You’re not just getting a movie star of a car, though, for that hefty hunk of coin. It’s been seriously modded, making it not just a prop but also a proper road racer.

It features: Turbonetics front-mount Intercooler; Nismo Lowering Springs; Custom Roll Cage; ARC Titanium Strut Tower Bar; 19X11 Volk Racing RE30 Wheels; Rotora Big Brake Racing Conversion 6 pot front and 4 pot rear; Nismo Version II Bumper with side skirts; East Bear Hood; Rear Seat Delete (the lonely man special); Momo Sport Alcantara steering wheel; Nismo V-Spec NUR Pedals; Custom Head-Up Display for Dash-Mounted PC; MFD Xenarc Display unit with all gauges programed to the ECU of the car; Sony Head Unit; OMP Custom Seats and Lap 5 Point harness; Nismo NE-1 Exhaust; and Universal Pictures Rental Contract Copy.

Stateside buyers shouldn’t get too excited, though. The car is currently located in Munich, Germany. If you do buy it, you’ll have to have it shipped. Luckily, though, it has a Florida title. So you shouldn’t have too much trouble using it as your daily driver, let’s say.

It looks like the end of the road for Cruise robotaxis
A Cruise autonomous car.

Autonomous-driving operations at Cruise look certain to end after its main backer, General Motors (GM), said it will stop funding the initiative.

GM, which has owned about 90% of Cruise since 2016, announced the decision in a statement shared on Tuesday. It follows a challenging period for Cruise after one of its autonomous cars ran over a woman after she was knocked into its path by a human-driven car in San Francisco in October 2023. The incident led to California regulators suspending Cruise's license to test its driverless cars on the state's streets, a decision that prompted Cruise to pause operations in other locations where it operated. It restarted low-level testing in Arizona in May 2024.

Hyundai Ioniq 9 driving

The long-awaited Hyundai Ioniq 9 is finally on its way. Hyundai has taken the wraps off a production-ready version of the electric SUV, showing a modern vehicle that could well be the electric SUV to beat when it finally rolls out to the public. But it will have to contend with Hyundai’s sister company in order to truly gain the title of best electric SUV in its price range. The Kia EV9 has been a go-to option for a few years now.

But is one of these SUVs actually better, or are they just different? We put the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and the Kia EV9 head to head to find out.
Design
There are some similarities in the designs of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and the Kia EV9, but they also look a little different. First, the similarities. Both vehicles are clearly SUVs, with larger blocky shapes. But, while the Kia EV9 has straight lines and sharper angles, the Ioniq 9 is a little curvier, with a rounded roofline and sculpted curves in the side panels.
