Japaneese carmaker Nissan and tuning firm Italdesign teamed-up some time ago to create one of the most astonishing GT-Rs on the market today – the long-awaited 2020 Nissan GT-R50.

The car was set up for a debut at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, last month, but with the Covid19 pandemic, the model was launched just some time ago. The media gallery bellow shows the car în its original form, after being long-rendered and showcased în teaser images. And as you can depict from the gallery, this is one impressive ride from a design perspective.

Staggering Price

Once emerging on the market towards the end of the year, or possibly at the beginning of 2021, the 2020 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign will cost a staggering 990,000 euros, which is around $1.08 million. That makes it around five times more expensive than the regular GT-R Nismo ($212,435).

Unfortunatelly, this is going to be a limited-edition of just 50 pieces, with the first batch to be delivered towards the end of the year.

Design Like No Other GT-R

The production model is absolutely mind-blowing in terms of styling and that because Italdesign tuning firrm knows its business too well. Hence the successful partnership between the two of the companies for many years.

The exterior strikes with the special paintwork, highlighted by the new front and rear fascias wrapped in black shape. There are also other changes brought to the car`s bumpers and headlights. We are dealing here with new LED headlights, while the roof now features a lower center section, which is flanked by raised outer areas. At the back, there is a huge wing which can be adjusted at high speeds. The changes could not be completed without the new set of 21-inch alloy wheels, custom-built for this particular model.

How about the Interior?

Changes were made inside the cabin as well. We are dealing here with a lot of leather and Alcantara and generous use of carbon fiber.

Mechanics and Performance

Besides the new look at the exterior and fresly-updated cabin, the 2020 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign is also a real monster under the hood as well.

Mechanically, the technicians from Nissan added a new suspension system with continuously-adjustable damping, along with Brembo brakes and updated sequential six-speed, dual-clutch transmission.

Performance wise, the 2020 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign features a high-performance 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, capable to output a staggering 710 horsepower and 780 Newton-meters, way more than the GT-R Nismo.
