The 2000 Nissan Skyline R-34 GT-R featured in Fast and Furious 4 has sold at auction for $1.357 million, setting a new auction world record for a Nissan Skyline GT-R and making it the most expensive Nissan ever sold at auction.

After a lengthy legal battle, the car was released from impound and exported to Germany in 2012, where it has mainly been exhibited as a static display.
