NISSAN has confirmed the production design of its GT-R50 by Italdesign - the ultimate expression of the GT-R - and has opened the official order books for the 50-vehicle limited run.

The car's exterior is virtually unchanged from the prototype first shown in July at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and prices of the 720ps NISMO-tuned model will start at £893,000.

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

While the prototype vehicle was finished in a special grey colour with gold accents, customers will be able to specify their preferred combinations for the production version. They also will be able to choose interior colours and packages.
