Remember the Nissan GT-R50? First introduced as a concept in 2018, it went into production in late 2020, with a total of 19 units built. Based on the GT-R Nismo, the GT-R50 uses unique body panels by coach builder Italdesign, giving it the sense the car just hopped out of Gran Turismo. Now, you can own one.
The 11th GT-R50 built has popped up for sale at Legendary Motorcar Company, an exotic used car dealer in Ontario, Canada. Specced with a $27,000 optional Liquid Silver paint job and a $38,000 optional hydraulic rear wing, it’s an especially desirable example, having barely been driven since the original owner took delivery back in 2021.
Under the sleeker body panels sits the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 found in the Nismo, rated here at 710 horsepower and 585 pound-feet of torque. Power gets to all four wheels via a rear-mounted six-speed dual-clutch transmission. There are also fancy Bilstein DampTronic shocks, Brembo brakes, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on all four corners.

The inside is mostly a normal GT-R, save for a bunch of red accents along places like the seats, dashboard, and vent surrounds. The seats themselves use carbon shell uprights, but thankfully they can still fold to access the rear bench.
Legendary Motorcar Company doesn’t list a price for this GT-R50, though it’s safe to assume it’ll sell for many times more than a normal GT-R. The original starting MSRP for this car was $1,165,000 after all, and we suspect values have only gone up in the three years since production ended.
