The Nissan/Italdesign GT-R50 will set you back more than $1 million.
Back in the middle of 2018, Nissan and Italdesign collaborated on a special GT-R called the GT-R50 and showed it off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was a concept at the time, but a few months later, Nissan and Italdesign decided to produce 50 examples for collectors, celebrating 50 years of the GT-R and 50 years of the coachbuilder. The plan: Sell personalized versions for about $1.1 million apiece.
The GT-R50 comes with the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 as the GT-R, in this application tuned to make 710 hp and 575 lb-ft. The power additions came by adding a heavy-duty crankshaft, larger intercoolers and GT3 competition-spec turbochargers, as well as heavy-duty connecting rods and bearings. There are also higher-flow fuel injectors, high-flow piston oil jets and revised camshaft profiles. Nissan’s tuning arm has also tweaked the intake and exhaust systems and added a reinforced dual-clutch sequential six-speed rear transaxle that features stronger differentials.
