Ultra-Rare Nissan GT-R50

If we talk about rare cars, the Nissan GT-R50 is definitely one of the rarest. Primarily because it is not talked about much, and it is also a limited edition as only 19 examples were produced. Recently, several photos have appeared that remind all those who do not know, what this car looks like.

First of all, the price. The Nissan GT-R50 costs $1.1 million. The bodywork has been completely changed, thanks to the designers and engineers of Italdesign. It is finished in a combination of red and gold color reminiscent of Marvel’s super hero (Iron Man), which makes this unique car more desirable.

Outstanding design is something that adorns this car at first glance. A lot of carbon parts such as the front splitter, rear wing and side skirts increase the aerodynamics of the car, making it better. It is mounted on and five-spoke 21″ wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport S tires.

Under the hood is the impressive engine from the GT-R Nismo model, with power increased to a whopping 710 hp (522 kW) and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque. Power goes to all wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Sebastian Vettel’s Nissan GT-R Black Edition for sale

Currently, car prices are reaching perhaps the highest figures in the last few years. If we add to that that the car was owned by a famous person and low mileage, the sky is the limit. Such is the case with the Nissan GT-R Black Edition owned by Sebastian Vettel that is offered for sale.

Last year, after 15 years, 289 races and four F1 World Champion titles, German motorsports racing driver Sebastian Vettel announced that he is ending his career as a Formula 1 driver. In his career, he competed for BMW Sauber, Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin, and achieved 53 victories. In the 2013 season, he achieved 13 victories, which is the Formula 1 record for the number of victories in one season. He is also the youngest Formula 1 champion in history at 23 years and 134 days.

As a big car fan and collector, Vettel owns some very rare examples such as Ferrari Enzo and Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series, and this GT-R Black Edition with only 150 km on the odometer could be desirable for collectors .

The car is finished in metallic black and has exclusive 20-inch Rays wheels that were only available for the Black Edition model, with orange brake calipers. The interior features Recaro seats upholstered in black and red leather.

It is listed in Pleidelsheim, and the price is €250,000 EUR ($260,000 USD).

2023 Nissan Z GT4

The new Nissan Z GT4 has arrived on the market. The racing car was created in cooperation between two Japanese companies, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and NMC, and is based on the Nissan Z model.

The Nissan Z is powered by a VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine with 400 hp (294 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque, and the same engine is expected to power the new race car. Although there is not enough information so far, it is known that Nissan tuned the engine, optimized the chassis and suspension and improved the aerodynamics according to the regulations of the GT4 category. Nissan says the Z GT4 race car is “affordable to enthusiasts and top professionals”.

“Motorsports for Nissan is an expression of our passion and unrivaled expertise. The Nissan Z continues to maintain its position as an exciting sports car that fascinates drivers with its driving dynamics and flexible powertrain. We are confident that this track-ready GT4-category Nissan Z will be ready to write another chapter in the Nissan Z’s 50-plus-year legacy of speed,” Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta said at the unveiling.

Specifications will be announced at the SEMA show in the US in November this year, and deliveries are expected in the first half of 2023.
