White or 326 Crystal White wasn’t offered as an original color on the R32 until August 1991, however according to the data that GT-R Registry has, there were eight series one cars in white. These cars may have been test cars, or media cars, maybe very special orders?
However from August 1991 up, there were 8047 made, totaling 18% of the production run, 2nd most popular color overall. Right behind the super not rare – KH2, or gunmetal grey.
