The first production Nissan GT-R 50 by Italdesign has broken cover, and if you thought the striking limited edition sports car would be diluted between 2018 show car and today, think again.

The GT-R 50 is based on the regular-production GT-R, but Nismo tuned its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine to 710 horsepower. 2020 has been a rough year for Nissan.

The GT-R 50 is a collaboration between Nissan and Italdesign and is based on the latest GT-R Nismo, drawing its power from a 3.8-liter twin turbocharged V6 tuned for that vehicle.

This GTR-50 is offered by Legendary Motorcar in Ontario, Canada. It’s number 11 of the planned 50, though the seller notes that only 19 have been built.

The result is the car you see here, the Nissan GT-R 50 by Italdesign. The first of those production models, it's a sleek reimagining of the Japanese car with European styling treatment.

Besides the unique styling, the special GT-R features a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 that’s been tuned to deliver 710 hp (530 kW / 720 PS) and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque.
