Nissan GT-R50 Italdesign To Debut At Goodwood

The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign will make its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, England, on July 12. The Nissan GT-R50 concept commemorates the 50th anniversaries of both the GT-R, in 2019, and Italdesign, in 2018. This is the first time that both Nissan and Italdesign have come together and the prototype could become the blueprint for an extremely limited run of hand-built production vehicles. But, the most interesting announcement came that the company might just put the GT-R50 onto production with a limited run of no more than 50 units. The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign could be priced at around 900,000 euros (Rs. 7.26 crore).
