“Jump” into Past and Future Landscapes with a Skyline for a Photo



The first generation "Skyline" was released 60 years ago on April 24, 1957. To date, 13 models, including the current one, have been released, making it a historic Japanese car that has colored many people's lives.



To celebrate this anniversary, “Skyline Timeline” will be held. The venue will feature exhibits of all 13 generations of the Skyline, along with capsule toys of rubber straps inspired by past Skylines, and a photo studio where visitors can enjoy a "time trip to the past and future."

The photo studio, with its time-slip concept, allows visitors to take photos as if they have "jumped" into past and future landscapes featuring the Skyline.



In addition to Roppongi Hills, the Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery in Yokohama will showcase the current and past Skylines and introduce the car's history until Wednesday, May 31st. At "NISSAN CROSSING" in Ginza, sketches used in design development will be displayed until Wednesday, May 31st, along with special macchiatos inspired by past models. A quiz rally, limited to three days from Saturday, April 22nd, will also be held.



We hope to celebrate the Skyline's "60th birthday" through these various events held at different venues.
