If you happen to’ve acquired a disgusting sum of money simply sitting in an account someplace, now’s your probability to purchase one thing actually distinctive. Considered one of a handful of Italdesign’s coachbuilt R35 Nissan GT-R, the GT-R50, is at the moment on the market. We simply don’t know the way a lot it prices.
Luxurious market James Version at the moment has this 2021 Nissan GT-R50 listed on the market on behalf of Canadian luxurious automotive supplier Legendary Motor Automotive Firm. Nissan and famed design studio Italdesign collaborated collectively again in 2018 for the latter’s fiftieth anniversary, with a objective to mix Japanese efficiency and Italian craftsmanship. The results of was the GT-R50 idea, which made the rounds at locations like Goodwood and numerous auto exhibits around the globe. It was so well-liked that Nissan introduced it might be constructing 50 manufacturing items 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 to be like 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 to be like nice.
Inside isn’t as thrilling. Whereas the idea had a very distinctive inside, the manufacturing GT-R50 largely appears to be like the identical as a standard R35. Other than carbon-fiber trim and intensive 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 pink accent trim across the air vents and sprint appears to be like low-cost, too.
The GT-R50 isn’t all appears to be like — there’s actual efficiency right here. Nismo massaged the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 to offer it extra energy over a normal GT-R. Due to issues like GT3-spec turbochargers, heavy-duty engine parts 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, huge Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Tremendous Sport tires on the distinctive wheels.
The one choices on this explicit 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. If you happen to’re , all this may be yours for… who is aware of. Each James Version and Legendary Motor Automotive Firm need consumers to achieve out to them to seek out out the value. I reached out to them and acquired bupkis. Perhaps somebody on the market with deeper pockets than I’ll have higher luck getting a solution out of them.
