Yahoo Autos A Few $1.1 Million Nissan GT-R50s Are Still Up for Grabs
Only 50 examples of the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign, which starts at the equivalent of $1.1 million, are going to be produced, but good news: Nissan has announced that a limited number of reservations for the remaining cars are still available.
Nissan says that customers will be able to get behind the wheel of their one-off GT-R50s between late 2020 and the end of 2021. The prototype, based off the current-generation GT-R NISMO, debuted in 2018 when Nissan partnered with Italdesign to conceive the limited-edition car to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the GT-R.
The twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 in the GT-R50 makes 710 horsepower and 585 lb-ft of torque, up from the GT-R NISMO's 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft. That's thanks to beefed-up turbochargers taken straight from the GT-R GT3 race car, paired with bigger intercoolers and high-flow fuel injectors and oil jets. The six-speed dual-clutch transmission has also been upgraded, and new Bilstein adaptive dampers are fitted.
Nissan's not saying exactly how many of the 50 GT-R50s are still available, but if we had $1.1 million laying around, we'd be quick to reserve our spot. The first customer model will be on public display at the Geneva auto show next March; but first, it's making a tour of events in Japan, including the NISMO Festival at Fuji Speedway on December 8.
