FactNissan built the 260RS in a single 1997 production run of around 100 cars through Autech, its performance-tuning subsidiary.
JDM-only sports wagon built on the R33 Skyline's platform; the 260RS Autech Version topped the range by fitting the R33 GT-R's RB26DETT twin-turbo six and ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive into wagon bodywork, making it a de facto GT-R estate. Positioned as a family hauler for enthusiasts, and a common RB26 donor chassis.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
The Stagea's name is built from the word STAGE plus A, for Advance.
Autech's Stagea 260RS quietly used the R33 GT-R's ATTESA E-TS and RB26DETT, officially rated at 280 PS to dodge Japan's gentleman's agreement.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
