50 copies will be sold for approximately $1 million each.

Although you’ve seen renderings and the prototype of the production model, Nissan has finally released images by Italdesign. These are the cars that the companies wanted to bring to Geneva. However, they had to resort in plan B due to the global disruption caused by the coronavirus epidemic. The first customer car has teal paintwork, which contrasts with the black front and back fascias.

We are patiently waiting for the next-generation GT_R, but we try to see the half-full glass as we have some news about Godzilla. The R35, which has been around since 2007, is still there underneath the new radical skin. However, it now has a new look and some subtle updates inside the cabin. Everything has been updated, from the bumpers to headlights.

The car is certainly sharp-looking, and the roofline has been lowered 54 millimeters (2.1 in) from the 2018 GT-R Nismo it replaces. It has a different roof, with a lower central section and raised outer areas. The car’s LED headlights give it a new look, while the huge wing at its back can be adjusted. The 21-inch alloy wheels, which are exclusive to this model, complete the exterior changes. Fun fact: The car was actually designed in Nissan and its teams in Europe, North America.

Although the interior has not been modified to the same extent as the exterior, it does use more carbon fiber, leather and Alcantara. Although these new appointments are normal for a limited-run edition, they don’t hide the GT-R’s age. The R35 has been around 13 years…

The GT-R50 has mechanical improvements beyond its new appearance. It uses an evolution from the twin-turbo, 3.8-liter V6 motor. Nismo has modified it to produce 710 horsepower, or 110 hp less than the GTR Nismo and the Track edition. Nissan claims they have increased the torque produced by the VR38DETT from 575 lbft (780 Newton meters) to 575 lbft (780 Newton meters), which is an increase of 94 Lb (128 Nm).

To add more punch, a reinforced six-speed, dual clutch transmission was installed. Additionally, stronger Brembo brakes were required. Bilstein provided the suspension and Michelin supplied the Pilot Super Sport tires, which measured 255/35 R21 in the front and 285/30 R21 in the rear.

Although Nissan has accepted orders since December 2018,, and only 50 cars will be built, there is still some available. The exorbitant asking prices of EUR990,000. ($1.08 million) are five times higher than the $2124,435 Nismo GT-R.

The first batch of customer cars for those who are willing to spend that amount of money will arrive in late 2020 or early 2021.
