Nissan Finalizes $1.1 Million Italdesign GT-R50 - Opens Order Books

Not everyone is a fan of the looks on the limited-run Nissan GT-R50 by Italian design company Italdesign, whose name sums its purpose up well. But if you are a fan and you’ve got a spare $1.1 million or so to drop on it, the order books are now open. There are only 50 slots, so move on it now.

We’ve known the price tag and details on the GT-R50 for months, but Nissan announced Friday that the final production design is settled and ordering is open. If you didn’t like the design and hoped the companies would cave between its debut and the car going on sale, that’s too bad. Nissan said Friday that the car’s exterior is “virtually unchanged from the prototype first shown in July.”

A 50 unit run for Ferrari or Lamborghini I can see selling and going up in value. a 50 unit GT-R run price at $1.1M USD? I would pass. I don't see it ending well.

Looks like the front end of a vacuum cleaner nozzle.

It's going to sell to people to whom $1.1 million is chump change.

You might have to wait 50 years for it play out like a Kaiser Nash...rare, limited in number, interesting, welcomed at all car shows but no real value compared to others of its time. I think W. C. Fields categorized these buyers appropriately years ago if you get my gist.

I believe you are talking about PT Barnum.
