The GT-R50 prototype is the first-ever collaboration between Nissan and Italdesign, which could become the blueprint for an extremely limited run of hand-built production vehicles.
The vehicle commemorates the 50th anniversaries of both the GT-R, in 2019, and Italdesign, in 2018.
Meanwhile, there is word that the GT-R50 could be produced for customers with no more than 50 examples to be made by Italdesign
Each car will be tailored for each customer with a starting price of about €900,000 (RM4.5mil).
A special engine will be installed, boasting of an additional 120PS over the stock engine together with chassis and driveline upgrades.
While Italdesign developed, engineered and built the car, the exterior and interior designs originated from Nissan Design Europe and Nissan Design America.
A large, adjustable rear wing, mounted with two uprights, completes the overall look. The exterior is finished in a Liquid Kinetic Gray colour along with Energetic Sigma Gold anniversary accents.
Inside, the GT-R50 gets two different carbon fibre accents across the centre console, instrument panel and door linings.
Drawing on Nissan's extensive GT3 racing experience, the NISMO organization enhanced the hand-built 3.8-litre V6 VR38DETT engine to produce an estimated 720PS and 780Nm of torque.
A revised Bilstein suspension damping system and upgraded Brembo braking system have been installed to help handle the extra power.
"At Italdesign, we have a long history of making our customers' dreams come true. By joining forces now with our partners at Nissan, we brought a true GT-R fantasy to life," said Italdesign-Giugiaro S.p.A. CEO Joerg Astalosch.
