For those who’ve bought a disgusting amount of cash simply sitting in an account someplace, now’s your probability to purchase one thing actually distinctive. One among a handful of Italdesign’s coachbuilt R35 Nissan GT-R, the GT-R50, is presently on the market. We simply don’t know the way a lot it prices.
Luxurious market James Version presently has this 2021 Nissan GT-R50 listed on the market on behalf of Canadian luxurious automotive vendor Legendary Motor Automobile Firm. Nissan and famed design studio Italdesign collaborated collectively again in 2018 for the latter’s fiftieth anniversary, with a purpose to mix Japanese efficiency and Italian craftsmanship. The results of was the GT-R50 idea, which made the rounds at locations like Goodwood and varied auto exhibits all over the world. It was so well-liked that Nissan introduced it could be constructing 50 manufacturing models of the GT-R50 at $1.1 million a pop, with manufacturing lastly beginning in 2020. Allegedly solely 19 ended up being made, and this one is quantity 11.
The GT-R50 appears like some GT-R from the not too distant future, with each physique panel getting modified. Italdesign gave it a entrance fascia that’s an exaggerated model of the R35’s authentic idea’s, with a large gaping maw and headlights that attain farther again into the hood. You’ll discover the greenhouse has been shortened by over two inches, and Italdesign saved the signature quad tail lights whereas a big adjustable wing sits atop a black rear deck that flows from the rear bumper to the roof. I believe all of it appears nice.
Inside isn’t as thrilling. Whereas the idea had a completely distinctive inside, the manufacturing GT-R50 largely appears the identical as a standard R35. Except for carbon-fiber trim and in depth use of Alcantara on the doorways, seats, sprint and roofliner, it doesn’t look as spectacular as you’d suppose for one thing this particular and costly. The purple accent trim across the air vents and sprint appears low cost, too.
The GT-R50 isn’t all appears — there’s actual efficiency right here. Nismo massaged the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 to provide it extra energy over an ordinary GT-R. Because of issues like GT3-spec turbochargers, heavy-duty engine elements and revised camshaft profiles, this engine makes 710 horsepower and 585 lb-ft of torque. There’s additionally a revised suspension setup with an adaptive damping system by Bilstein, massive Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Tremendous Sport tires on the distinctive wheels.
The one choices on this specific GT-R50 are the $27,000 silver metallic paint and the rear wing, which was $38,000. Regardless of all that efficiency, the outline says that this GT-R50 was by no means pushed and nonetheless has supply mileage on it. For those who’re , all this may be yours for… who is aware of. Each James Version and Legendary Motor Automobile Firm need consumers to succeed in out to them to search out out the worth. I reached out to them and bought bupkis. Possibly somebody on the market with deeper pockets than I’ll have higher luck getting a solution out of them.
