Nissan has confirmed the production design of the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign and has officially opened the order books for the 50-vehicle limited run.
However, each car will cost around £900,000! And that’s before tax and options, so you’ll be looking at well over £1 million to have one of these in your garage.
The car’s exterior is pretty much unchanged from the prototype first shown in July at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England.
Nissan collaborated with Turin, Italy-based Italdesign to create the model, based on the latest Nissan GT-R NISMO, in commemoration of the 50th anniversaries of the GT-R in 2019 and Italdesign in 2018.
While the prototype vehicle was finished in a special gray with gold accents, customers will be able to specify their preferred color combinations for the production version. They also will be able to choose interior colours and packages.1
“The reaction from Nissan fans around the world – and potential customers of the GT-R50 – has greatly exceeded our expectations,” said Bob Laishley, global sports car program director at Nissan.”
He added: “These 50 cars, which celebrate 50 years of the GT-R as well as 50 years of Italdesign, will be rolling tributes to Nissan’s engineering leadership and rich sports car heritage for a long time to come.”
Customers who wish to own a GT-R50 may start by visiting GT-R50 and contacting Italdesign to create their own bespoke car. Deliveries will begin in 2019 and will continue through 2020.
