To celebrate their 50th anniversary, storied styling house Italdesign took Nissan's hot-rocket GT-R Nismo--essentially a street-legal racecar--and reimagined it as the GT-R50.

Italdesign's goal was to "[re-interpret] it with a European-style sensibility combining Japanese performance and Italian craftsmanship," and what they've come up is pretty out of this world:

This styling exercise was actually manufactured, and appeared at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK…

…and apparently there was enough rich-people-interest that the car may see limited production. "Pending the GT-R50 by Italdesign's reception at Goodwood and other global appearances in the coming months," the company writes, "a customer version inspired by the prototype with an estimated starting price of €900,000 may be created.

"No more than 50 units would be produced by Italdesign with each car tailored for each customer."

What kind of tailoring does USD $1,045,897 get you? This thing better come with a falconry kit.

compared to other things they are doing (like the Infiniti pebble beach concepts) this thing just feels a bit cheese ball to me.

  I had the same thought but didn't want to sound negative. I don't really understand what meaningful change they made...
