01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Nissan GT-R 50 by Italdesign is the product of a collaboration between the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan and the renowned Italian design house Italdesign, which began in 2018 with the creation of a prototype bearing the same name. Following the success and positive reception of the prototype, both companies decided to proceed with the production of a limited series of just 20 units for the road-going version, but only 5 were actually built. This exclusive model was created to celebrate two significant milestones: the 50th anniversary of the Nissan GT-R in 2019 and Italdesign’s 50th anniversary in 2018. The Nissan GT-R 50 is built upon the latest Nissan GT-R NISMO platform, but it has been enhanced with a unique design and features that set it apart from any previous GT-R model. At the heart of the car is a NISMO-tuned, hand-built 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, capable of producing an impressive 720 PS. This extraordinary power, combined with Italdesign’s design expertise, results in a vehicle that is both visually striking and high-performing. Demand for the limited-edition GT-R 50 has been strong, with many customers around the world already placing deposits. Each buyer has the opportunity to personalize their vehicle, selecting specifications tailored to their preferences. Additionally, customers can choose a livery inspired by the legendary GT-R models that have played a key role in the brand’s history. The Nissan GT-R 50 by Italdesign represents a fusion of Japanese engineering excellence and Italian design flair.
