Jena, 25.03.2026. A movie car from the Hollywood series “Fast & Furious” that had long been considered missing has been tracked down by a Jena collector. The world-famous Nissan Skyline of actor Paul Walker, who died in 2013, changed hands for a million-dollar sum after years of searching and is now coming to Thüringen.
- Vehicle: Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R (“Walker Skyline” from the film “2 Fast 2 Furious”, 2003)
- Buyer: Kai Nieklauson (54), founder of ChromeCars (Jena)
- Location: Living room of a private collector in Norwegen
- Purchase Price: Seven-figure million range
Missing Cult Sports Car Discovered in Norwegian Living Room
For 18 years, all traces of the striking sports car with blue accents were missing. The vehicle achieved global fame in 2003 through the second installment of the “Fast & Furious” series alongside Paul Walker and triggered a massive hype for Japanese sports cars in the tuning scene. As has now become known, 54-year-old Kai Nieklauson, founder of the Jena-based company ChromeCars, located the car after intensive research.
The legendary Nissan Skyline was not in a hidden garage, but literally in the living room of a private collector in Norwegen. According to media reports, a sum in the seven-figure range was paid for the acquisition of the cult car.
Jena Specialists for Historic Hollywood Metal
The recovery of the so-called “Walker Skyline” is one of a series of successes for the Jena company. Nieklauson’s team has specialized internationally in historic movie cars. In the past, the Thüringen-based team already managed to secure, among others, the only surviving Dodge Charger from the film classic “Bullitt” starring Steve McQueen (1968).
Background: Movie Cars and Security for Million-Dollar Assets
The company ChromeCars has firmly placed Jena on the international map for classic and historic Hollywood vehicles. Such high-profile collections require the highest standards in restoration, transport, and housing. The storage of such automotive million-dollar assets usually takes place in strictly secret, climate-controlled high-security depots. In general, the Kriminalpolizei advise owners of exclusive classic cars or heavily modified sports cars to equip corresponding garages with state-of-the-art alarm and GPS monitoring technology, as irreplaceable vehicles represent a coveted target for international organized theft.
