This gorgeous, outlandish, stunning 720bhp Nissan is not - we repeat, NOT - the next-gen GT-R. But we really, really wish it was. Perhaps it gives some clues about what Nissan"s plotting to replace the R35-gen Godzilla with This fabulous creation is in fact the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign. It"s a collaboration between the Japanese carmaker and the Italian coachbuilder, aiming to add some Italian flair and elegance to the brutal GT-R recipe, and celebrate two birthdays. Yes, 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the GT-R name in Nissan history, and 50 years of Italdesign. This is much better than a cake with candles. Nissan"s design boss, Alfonso Albaisa, says the GT-R50 is the answer to the question: "What if we created a GT-R without limits," and then actually get to build it?" A designer"s dream, then. Though it"s still recognisably a GT-R, every feature has been exaggerated to create a machine with true supercar presence.
