This year, the iconic Nissan GT-R and Skyline moniker celebrate 50 years. Italdesign also commemorates 50 years too. So what does that mean? The two icons have joined forces to create a bespoke prototype dubbed the Nissan GT R50.<\/p>\n
Why GT R50 you might ask, as both are celebrating half a century, the “50” in the name is a reference to the anniversary years of the two powerhouses.<\/p>\n
Based on the 2018\u00a0GT R, the Nissan GT R50 sports an eye-catching exterior\u00a0finish. Consisting\u00a0of Gold and Grey, the bonnet has been sculpted and now\u00a0flows towards the front grille with either side flanked by slim LED headlights.<\/p>\n
Looking at the vehicles side profile, the roof now sits lower down (54mm lower), the wheel arches have been flared out, and the traditional GT-R “samurai blades” behind the front wheels are finished in gold.<\/p>\n
The rear end keeps the traditional\u00a0twin round taillights, but the designers have carved out a space to allow them to float with thin light rings and hollowed out centres.<\/p>\n
Finally, each corner is fitted with custom 21-inch rims.<\/p>\n
Beyond its striking looks, flashy finish and custom rims, under the bonnet is the standard 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine. Tuned to a mega 710 horsepower, NISMO jumped on the project to and replaced dozens of mechanical\u00a0parts including the intercoolers, turbochargers, pistons, intake, exhaust\u00a0system and more.<\/p>\n
The six-speed dual-clutch transmission has also been adjusted to cope with the extra power. Additionally, the Nissan GT R50 is fitted with Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, Bilstein DampTronic continuously adjustable damping system and slick Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.<\/p>\n
As of writing, this is purely a concept and if it will be an actual road car remains unknown.<\/p>\n
