Brits to get 50th Anniversary edition Nissan GT-R at £93K

By CARSIFU | 1 July 2019


LONDON: Nissan has announced that only 18 units of the 50th Anniversary edition GT-R would be sold in Britain, priced at £92,995 (RM487,000).

Fifty examples are allocated for Europe; 18 of which are right-hand drive versions for Britain. First customer deliveries will start at the end of August.

The car was unveiled at the 2019 New York International Auto Show in April.

Retired since the R34 GT-R, Bayside (Wangan) Blue makes a return for the 50th Anniversary edition, complete with white racing stripes. A four-coat, double-heat treatment process ensures a vivid blue with striking highlights and deep shadows. All European models of the GT-R 50th Anniversary will be in Bayside Blue.

New 20-spoke 20” alloy wheels with blue accents on the spokes and "50th Anniversary" badge are among several fine touches that celebrate the GT-R’s milestone.

The 50th Anniversary models feature a Prestige grey leather interior, including a grey leather steering wheel and gear lever, seat embossing, an Alcantara headliner with unique stitching and Alcantara-wrapped sun visors.

“The Nissan GT-R has been the icon of our company’s driving performance for the past half century,” said GT-R programme design director Shinichiro Irie.

“We wanted to ensure the GT-R 50th Anniversary Edition stood out. While the exterior and interior changes may seem subtle at first glance, they’re still impactful, especially with the new paint schemes, keeping the car’s lines and overall presence modern and edgy.”

The 370Z 50th Anniversary edition is also on sale, priced at £38,995 (RM204,000), with 22 units reserved for Brits. Customer deliveries started last month.
