Deliveries of the Nissan GT-R50 to begin late 2020

The first customer model of the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign will go on display at the Geneva Motor Show in March, before deliveries of the limited edition car begin in late 2020.

Before then, fans can see the prototype model in locations throughout Japan, including at the 2019 NISMO Festival.

Customer demand for the production version of the car has been strong, with a significant number of deposits already taken, and customers across the globe are in the process of selecting personal specifications for their vehicles.

That will make the already limited car - of which only 50 will be produced - even more attractive to collectors. A limited number of reservations for the remaining models are still available.

Subject to certification and homologation in all relevant markets, customers can expect to get behind the wheel of their personalised Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign sometime between late 2020 and the end of 2021. Powering each GT-R50 by Italdesign is a NISMO-tuned 710bhp hand-built 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6.

Nissan collaborated with Turin, Italy-based Italdesign to create the model, based on the latest Nissan GT-R NISMO, in commemoration of the 50^th anniversaries of the GT-R in 2019 and Italdesign in 2018.

The prototype vehicle, which debuted in June 2018, will be on display at this year's NISMO Festival, held at Fuji Speedway on 8 December 2019. The model will subsequently be shown at Nissan Crossing in Tokyo's Ginza district in December, and at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January.
