Exclusive Nissan on debut

The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign made its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England on Friday. 

Nissan factory GT3 racers Lucas Ordóñez and Alex Buncombe piloted the Italdesign prototype up the 1.86km hill on the grounds of Goodwood House, one of the most famous hills in motorsport. 

"The Goodwood Festival of Speed is the ideal setting to showcase the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign, which combines power and artistry to celebrate 50 years of inspiring the dreams of our customers," said Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan's senior vice president of global design.

 “It's the perfect setting to showcase a unique vehicle that will stir the imagination of people to dream even bigger."

The first-ever collaboration between Nissan and Italdesign, the GT-R50 prototype shown at Goodwood could become the blueprint for a limited run of hand-built production vehicles.
