Why it matters
The N1 cars were the factory's own base for the Group N endurance series in Japan, with weight and equipment removed and a strengthened, balanced engine. They are the rarest production R32 GT-Rs after the NISMO homologation car.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
