Nissan limited to 50 vehicles “GT-R50 by Italdesign” is now released and will be $1 million for commercial model! Now it seems that there are still orders you can make. Nissan has released the appearance of the commercial model (CG) of “GT-R50 by Italdesign”. This is a limited model that Nissan develops and manufactures along with Italdesign as “50th anniversary of GT-R”. Although the prototype has already been completed and has appeared in public somehow, this is the first time it has been released as a “commercial model”. Furthermore, the actual delivery will start in the later in 2020. * On the other hand, the prototype will be exhibited at NISMO FESTIVAL at FUJI SPEEDWAY 2019 held on December 8th. After that, it will be exhibited at Nissan Crossing and also at Auto Salon.
◾️What kind of car is NISSAN GT-R50 by Italdesign ?
The NISSAN GT-R50 by Italdesign is a car created in collaboration with Nissan and Italdesign (currently owned by Lamborghini), and the limited 50 vehicle will be sold.
And GT-R50 by Italdesign is not a suggestion of the next GT-R (R36), and it is on the premise that Nissan would be “If there were no restrictions on R35 GT-R, it would be like this”. The car is designed by Ital Design to actually redesign the interior and exterior. ItalDesign is a company that develops, designs, and manufactures vehicles, although it also has the function of a manufacturer and coach builder, although “design” is its main business, as its name implies. However, this time, the design will be done by the “Nissan side (not ItalDesign)” and the design project will be led by Alfonso Albaisa of Nissan.
This car is not a mass-produced car that is manufactured on the line, but it is a complete car-like production method in which the GT-R NISMO that has been manufactured (completed) is brought to Italdesign, where it is custom-made by “disassembling everything”. That being said, in the past, the production scene of the prototype has already been released.
The GT-R50 by Italdesign roof is about 5 cm lower, and this is done by cutting the roof once, shortening it, and connecting it again.Therefore, it has a different body size from the base GT-R NISMO, and the total length of GT-R50 by Italdesign is 4784 mm (4690), overall width 1992 mm (1895), and overall height 1316 mm (1370). I am. * () Indicates GT-R NISMO
By the way, the engine is 3.8 liter V6 (VR38DETT) and the output is 720 horsepower. Compared to the 600 horsepower of the GT-R NISMO, it means that it has actually increased by 120 horsepower.
For that reason, the vehicle price will start from about $1 million and it is a very expensive car, but according to Nissan, the production frame of GT-R50 by Italdesign is “only a few vehicle order left “.
In other words, it means that you can still place an order without being sold out, and you can apply for purchase from the GT-R50 special site.
In addition, it seems that those who have already ordered the GT-R50 are at the stage of deciding the specifications of the interior and exterior, but according to Mr. Bob Leishley, director of the sports car program at Nissan, “ Small production of high performance cars Our customers are enjoying the wonderful personalized experience of this project with Italdesign, which will be tailor-made in. Each Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign will be masterpiece. ”
◾️ Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign can also have these specifications
And this is one of the variations of GT-R50 by Italdesign, which Nissan unveiled underground this time.
The green has a gold accent. Lettering “73” on the body side. This is probably the image of the 1972 “Skyline GT-R 2000 Racing Concept”.
This look like first Skyline GT-R(KPGC10)
Door mirror got black just like Skyline 2000GT-R
◾️How the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign changed from a prototype
This blue individual is the image of “R34 Skyline GT-R” (however, the tone is slightly different from “Bayside Blue”).
Just like the prototype, the same color is released, so I would like to see how the prototype and commercial model of “GT-R 50 by Italdesign” have changed.
This is a prototype.
The reproducibility is quite high, and when commercializing it, the rear window and its sides, the balance between the rear fender and the rear bumper, and the size of the tail lamp have changed.
this is front of prototype
It can be considered that the commercially available model faithfully reproduces this, and it seems that the “engraving” around the parts on the side of the frame (golden part) of the front grille is slightly different.
