Dreams are made of the Nissan GT-R50 Mid-Engined

There are very few chances of it being on sale. Close to zero.

The current Nissan GT-R was introduced on the market in 2007. It is now 12 years old, and will be officially a teenager next spring. Although a new model is unlikely, exclusive variants such as the GT-R50 offer a glimpse at how the Japanese sports car might evolve over the coming years. Italdesign collaborated on this project, which gave Rain the inspiration to create a stunning mid-engine GT-R. This gives us hope that the next-gen Godzilla with the engine mounted behind the seats will be a true supercar. The rendered car’s front looks very similar to the GT-50. It features sleek headlights with a large diffuser panel embedded into the bumper. The side profile is significantly altered with the mid-engine car being lower and having wide air intakes near its doors to supply fresh air to the engine bay.

Prisk is a mid-engine car with radically different proportions. It has a sleeker silhouette and larger wheels that hide under thicker arches. Imagine a twin-turbo, 3.8-liter V6 engine with 710 horsepower (529 Kilowatts) & 575 pound-feet (780 Newton meters) of torque behind the seats.

Most recent reports indicate Nissan does not plan to replace the GT-R’s current model with a new one. A new GT-R could not be available until 2027, as Nissan hasn’t yet decided whether it will go full-electric or hybrid. Hiroshi Tamura, Nissan’s GT-R Team leader, believes the current platform can last for 20 years with no major changes. This basically means that minor modifications could ensure at least eight years of continued availability for the current model.
