The limited-edition Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign has
been shown off to prospective buyers in the Middle East at the Dubai Autodrome. Nissan unveiled the
heavily-modified GT-R50 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year. The car
has since gone on a world tour that’s seen it displayed at Laguna Seca in
California during the Monterey Motorsports Reunion, Spa-Francorchamps in
Belgium and the Nissan Crossing in Japan.
The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign was confirmed for
series production in December 2018. The Japanese manufacturer will build just
50 examples with each one priced at € 990,000 (US$ 1.12 million) before taxes and
optional extras.
Nissan has yet to say how many orders it’s secured
or where the majority of customers come from, but we expect the Middle East to
be one of the vehicle’s most important markets. The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign
stands out from the regular Japanese sports car thanks to its bespoke bodywork
which includes an active rear wing.
In terms of power, the GT-R Nismo’s 3.8-liter
twin-turbocharged V6 engine has been upgraded with new internals and now pumps
out 710 hp and 780 Nm)of torque.
