This stunning Nissan GT-R50 is a custom prototype built to commemorate the 50th anniversaries of both the GT-R and Italdesign, the legendary design house founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Based on a production 2018 Nissan GT-R Nismo, the prototype was developed, engineered, and built by Italdesign. It features a 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine delivering 710 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque.
The interior was updated to make it as special as the Italdesign exterior, it features loads of carbon fiber, Alcantara, and gold accents.
“How often do you get to ask, ‘What if we created a GT-R without limits,’ and then actually get to build it?” said Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design. “This is a rare window in time when two big moments intersect: 50 years of Italdesign shaping the automotive world and 50 years of Nissan generating excitement through our iconic GT-R. So to celebrate this convergence, Nissan and Italdesign created this custom GT-R to mark 50 years of engineering leadership.”
The car will make its debut in Europe next month. While production has not been announced, this one-off creation represents what’s possible when two automotive icons collaborate without limitations.
