This year the Italian studio Italdesign celebrates its half-century anniversary. Also 50 years ago, the first prototype of the “charged” Nissan Skyline GT-R sedan was presented, although the production version was released in 1969. The companies decided to celebrate these significant dates together and announced a unique show car, the Nissan GT-R50. You will be able to admire the finished car in a month, but for now here are the first renderings and information.
The creators took the serial Nissan GT-R coupe in the most powerful Nismo version as a basis. The design project was developed by Italian specialists together with Nissan studios in England and America. But Italdesign is building the car alone.
The body of the production supercar has been seriously modified. The roof is lowered by 54 mm (total height 1316 mm), all external body panels are new, which is why the car has become 94 mm longer and 97 mm wider than the production version (4784 and 1992 mm, respectively). All lighting equipment is new, and the rear lights are visually separated from the body. At the stern there is a retractable wing with an adjustable angle of attack, special wheels with a landing diameter of 21 inches are shod in Michelin Pilot Super Sport racing tires.
The interior has also been completely redesigned: a few elements remain from the production car, such as the characteristic groove of the transmission selector. The separate display of the media system has disappeared; its functions are assigned to the virtual instrument cluster. The new steering wheel has a carbon fiber hub and spokes, and the seats are upholstered in leather and suede.
The Nissan GT-R50 differs not only in design, but also in technology. The V6 3.8 biturbo engine has been modified with an eye to the engine of the racing “getter” for the GT3 series. It acquired larger turbochargers and intercoolers, reinforced pistons, connecting rods, bearings and crankshaft. A camshaft with a different cam profile, modified ignition, intake and exhaust systems, as well as oil nozzles for lubrication of the piston group appeared. As a result, the output increased to 720 hp. and 780 Nm versus 600 hp. and 637 Nm for the production version of Nismo.
In addition, the robotic gearbox and drive shafts have been strengthened. And the suspension is equipped with electronically controlled Bilstein DampTronic I shock absorbers. Alas, the dynamic parameters of the anniversary coupe have not yet been reported, although they hardly make sense for a show car. Now we just have to wait for the real car.

Genuine Nissan spare parts
Genuine Nissan spare parts- these are parts and assemblies identical to the parts and assemblies supplied to the assembly line of the manufacturer. Such spare parts must be branded and have a unique number of the vehicle manufacturer.
Achieving the parameters initially set by the car manufacturer and, accordingly, reliability, durability and functionality is only possible if a used or failed element is replaced with exactly the same, “original” one. And it's hard to argue with that.
A car can be reliable, practical, and of high quality, but, alas, parts still age and become unusable. Perpetual motion and eternal life for machines do not exist.
Original part, as a rule, will last a very long time. Each manufacturer has pre-set automotive parameters such as reliability, durability and functionality. But all this can be achieved only on the condition that failed elements are replaced in a timely manner and they are replaced with “original parts”. Still don't understand why this is needed? Why Nissan spare parts must be of high quality? The answer is simple - driver safety. Also, we must remember that an original spare part makes it possible to make a profitable purchase, since it will serve for a long time.
Non-original Nissan spare parts
However, many experts praise non-original Nissan spare parts, which were made by independent manufacturing companies. Today unoriginal Nissan spare parts exist for any car model. The main difficulty here is related to the choice in this ocean of assortment.
Non-original Nissan spare parts (“alternative spare parts”, “replacements” or “analogs”), produced under license, are distinguished by high reliability and quality. In addition, practical people prefer to buy them because they have a lower cost. Full range and large selection of aftermarket auto parts for all Nissan models in the shop Nissan 50!
Non-original spare parts Nissan- products of independent manufacturing companies specializing in the production of parts of a certain group (for example, suspension and steering, braking system, engine, electrical equipment, etc.) for various brands and models of cars. Such spare parts can be produced both under the manufacturer’s own brand and under other brands of packaging companies.

Infiniti QX50, 2nd generation, 11.2017 - present
Good design, people let you through on the road and inspect it (maybe because it’s a new product). Engine 249 hp It pulls well, although I haven’t tried the stated 7 seconds to 100, running in. Economical, in traffic jams from the region to the city I fit in at 9.5, on the highway 7.5 (cruise 108) with a tachometer of 1.9. Wide, comfortable to sit on, a little stiff, but assembled without wobbling. Finally, a good trunk and ground clearance of 22 cm. The CVT works great, I don’t even want to switch to manual. Real sensations from eco, standard or sport. I have not yet felt either a turbine or all-wheel drive, it works without intervention. A convenient system for holding the car in place without applying pressure to the brake.
The lack of at least a dokatka is annoying, the road will show. The start-stop system lives its own life. It turns off well, but turns on itself after 15 seconds. then after 40, after switching off, you need to leave it for 5 seconds to move so that the engine slows down, otherwise you get a jerk. Turns on auto low beam early. The near light is rather weak. It is better not to park without front and rear parking sensors. Two screens are a controversial solution, but at least the screensavers on the top could be made in color. The name of the file being played from a flash drive is hard to read. When it rains, water from the headlights splashes onto the glass when driving, windshield wipers throw water onto the driver's side window, it is necessary to install deflectors. Four-wheel drive cannot be disabled.
I already wrote about the advantages.
This is my 3rd review of the car. The mileage is 22,000. The support bearing was replaced under warranty at 18,000, a week after the replacement the strut began to knock. After 3.5 weeks it arrived from Europe, the strut was replaced. At 15,000 the information system with the top screen was replaced. Freezes and other glitches stopped They replaced the navigation system, since the one that was installed did not find the addresses. But the problem turned out to be not in it. The new one also cannot find some addresses. The problem is in the program installed on these models. They said that they would wait for an update of the navigation program.
1. Incredibly beautiful salon. Velvet suede dark chocolate headliner, pillars, seat belts and lower interior. Milky leather interior seats. I couldn't be happier.
2. Pleased with the equipment: head-up display, ventilation and adjustment of the front seats in all possible planes, heated steering wheel and windshield, luxurious panoramic roof with sunroof, excellent sound from 15 BOSE speakers, parking sensors in a circle, video review of the car in a circle when parking in several modes , tips when changing lanes and dangerous approach, automatic adjustment of side mirrors when reversing, blind spots, auto start, locking the car without a brake pedal and auto start of the engine at traffic lights, adjustable rear seat tilt, rear door window curtains, monitoring the pressure of each tire, two monitors.
3. Ground clearance 22 cm!
4. Good sound insulation.
5. Everyone who rode in the back noted how convenient and comfortable it was.
6. The car is purchased turnkey, has all the necessary options and absolute comfort, does not require any investments (except for small things).
1. I don’t like the banal light silver color, the car in it is significantly inferior to other color options (I took it from the leftovers of ’18, it was the only one in the package I was interested in), I’ll probably cover it with a colored film (dark blue or chocolate brown).
2. Standard navigation absolutely defies any logic. A completely stupid control system. Thank God that it is not required, I use the additionally installed Yandex navigator.
3. Terrible wiper on the 5th door - streaks. I guess I was unlucky personally. We need to buy a new one.
4. There are no heated rear seats.
5. The system does not connect a smartphone with an Android in any way other than Bluetooth, while the iPhone connects both via a cord and via Bluetooth.
The first prototype of the “charged” Nissan Skyline GT-R sedan was presented to the public in 1968, at the same time the legendary Italdesign studio was formed. Now both companies have decided to join forces and celebrate the 50th anniversary with the release of a unique Nissan GT-R50 show car.
It is known that the modification was built on the basis of a serial coupe in the top-end version, and the appearance of the special version was developed by Italian specialists together with the English and American design studios of Nissan, although Italdesign took full responsibility for the construction of the car.
The Nissan GT-R50 is quite different from the original version of the model. This two-door model has a lowered roof by 54 mm, while the overall height of the coupe reaches 1,316 mm. All body panels of the modification were replaced with new ones, after which the length of the car increased to 4,884 mm (+ 94), and the width - to 1,992 mm (+ 97).
The lighting technology of the concept is completely new, while the designers decided to visually separate the rear lights from the body. Plus, a retractable wing with an adjustable angle of attack appeared at the stern, and special 21-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport racing tires.
The interior has also undergone numerous changes. The seats in the GT-R50's interior are upholstered in leather and suede, and the only thing reminiscent of a production sports car is the characteristic transmission selector groove.
The show car does not have a separate screen for the multimedia system: the developers decided to assign its functions to a digital instrument panel. In addition, the car was equipped with a steering wheel with a carbon fiber hub and spokes.
As for the technical stuffing, the 3.8-liter V6 engine with two turbines has been seriously modified. The engine received larger turbochargers and intercoolers, as well as reinforced crankshaft, bearings, pistons and connecting rods.
Additionally, a camshaft with a different cam profile and oil nozzles were installed to lubricate the piston group; the ignition, intake and exhaust systems were also revised. Such numerous changes made it possible to increase output from 600 hp. and 637 Nm up to 720 forces and 780 Nm of torque.
The modified engine works in conjunction with a reinforced robotic gearbox, but the dynamic characteristics of the coupe are not mentioned. Other features include electronically controlled Bilstein DampTronic I shock absorbers.
The public display of the Nissan GT-R50 took place at the end of July two thousand and eighteen, and based on positive feedback, Italdesign specialists decided to produce fifty copies of the model. The price of each car will be at least 990,000 euros, excluding taxes, so customers will have to fork out more than a million.
Nissan GT-R50 from Italdesign is the result of the realization of fantasies and many ideas that have not been realized before.
Based on the 2018 Nissan GT-R NISMO, the unique car celebrates the 50th anniversary of both the GT-R and Italdesign. The prototype will make its European debut next month.
“It’s not often that two such significant events happen at the same time: 50 years since Italdesign shaped the automotive world, and 50 years since Nissan delighted the public with its legendary GT-R. To celebrate this anniversary of automotive leadership, Nissan and Italdesign have created this unique GT-R,” said Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan Senior Vice President of Global Design.
Italdesign designed and built the car, and its unique, fresh exterior and interior design were developed by the teams at Nissan Design Europe (London) and Nissan Design America.
Starting at the front of the car, Italdesign has given the Nissan GT-R50 a distinctive signature - a distinct gold interior element that extends from the front end and runs almost the entire length of the body. The hood has a more pronounced shape, and narrow LED headlights stretch from the wheel arches to the protrusions above the air intakes.
The main eye-catching design element is the side roof line, which has been lowered by 54 mm. Its midsection is kept relatively low, while the slightly raised sides give the entire silhouette an athletic look. The signature styling element of the GT-R has always been the air vents located behind the front wheels, reminiscent of a samurai sword. On the new supercar they have become more impressive thanks to their elongation and added gold inserts.
When looking at the car from the rear, the wide-set wheels with tense, muscular wheel arches catch your eye. The center line of the body drops around the base of the rear window towards the center of the trunk lid. The rear window line slopes further and deeper than on the standard model. Combined with a variety of gold elements, it looks like a separate, complete piece of the rear end.
The GT-R's twin round lights have also been reimagined as a separate "floating" piece with thin rings of light and a hollow center, mounted to connect the outer support elements and the central part of the trunk. The rear end is completed by a large, adjustable rear spoiler mounted on two pillars. Specially designed wheels - front 21x10 inches, rear 21x10.5 inches - accentuate the daring appearance of the car. The body is painted in Liquid Kinetic Gray, which is enlivened by unique details in the anniversary color Energetic Sigma Gold.
The interior of the Nissan GT-R50 from Italdesign is made in the spirit of modern supercars. The center console, control panel and door panels feature two different types of carbon fiber trim. The seats are upholstered in black Alcantara and high-quality Italian leather. The gold accents on the exterior are matched by details in the interior: on the control panel, doors and futuristic gear knob (the design of which is inspired by racing cars). The original steering wheel's center hub and spokes are made from carbon fiber, and its rim features a flat bottom and Alcantara wrap.
Beneath the new shape of the Nissan GT-R50 from Italdesign lies a car with high dynamic performance. Drawing on experience from GT3 racing, Nissan's NISMO division has refined the hand-built 3.8-litre V6 VR38DETT engine. According to preliminary estimates, it will develop a maximum power of 720 hp. and maximum torque of 780 Nm.
The following updates have appeared in the design of the power unit: two high-performance turbochargers with a large turbine diameter (GT3 level characteristics) and larger intercoolers; crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods and bearings adapted to work under particularly high loads; efficient oil nozzles for lubrication of piston group parts; modernized camshaft cam profile; high-performance fuel injectors; as well as optimized ignition, air intake and exhaust systems.
The car is equipped with a reinforced 6-speed preselective dual-clutch transmission and a unique all-wheel drive transmission (in which the gearbox is installed in the same unit with the final drive of the rear axle). The transmission with reinforced differentials and drive shafts effectively transmits torque to the wheels.
For the prototype, an updated suspension was developed with a system of continuous damping force control BILSTEIN DampTronic I. Effective braking is provided by front and rear Brembo brakes (front with 6-piston, rear with 4-piston calipers). These calipers are painted bright red and are clearly visible through the rims. Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (front - 255/35 R21, rear - 285/30 R21) improve grip, which is necessary to curb the engine's power.
