New Limited-Edition Nissan GT-R50 By Italdesign

The prototype of the limited-edition Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign features black Alcantara® on its seats, steering wheel, instrument panel and door panels, as well as on the dashboard and center console. Often combined with carbon fiber, Alcantara offers a sports car feel along with a significant reduction in weight. In commemoration of the 50th anniversaries of the Nissan GT-R in 2019 and Italdesign in 2018, only 50 of the supercars will be built. Italdesign will customize the GT-R50's interior and exterior for each buyer for a unique combination of Italian craftsmanship and Japanese technology and performance. Alcantara's light weight, grip and breathability adds to the sporty character of Italdesign's GT-R50.
