Watch Nissan GT-R50 on Track at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

To be properly represented at the event, the carmaker already announced the presence of several Nissan and Datsun cars at the venue. And although all of these cars are proven racers in various competitions, none will steal the show probably as much as will do the ultra-expensive GT-R50.

This will be the first U.S.-outing for the car that was presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom. And to show its worth among the grands of car racing, the GT-R50 will perform demonstration laps on the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca circuit.

It will also be seen in a race car caravan from the track through the streets of Monterey and Carmel, California, driven by Nissan's global design chief, Alfonso Albaisa.

The GT-R50 was built by Nissan together with Italdesing as a means to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GT-R that has been in production from 1969. This version is based on a NISMO version of the GT-R, equipped with a 3.8-liter VR38DETT engine.

As compared to the stock version of the NISMO GT-R, the engine fitted on this special edition has been tweaked to develop 700 PS, 120 PS over the capabilities of its production version brother.

Visual changes are present all around, thanks to Italdesign’s input. The roofline is now 54 millimeters lower than the original to make the car look more aggressive, and golden cues are spread all around the body to make it look more luxurious.

Initially denying plans to mass-produce it, Nissan backtracked and acknowledged it will be building 50 examples of the GT-R50. Each will be priced at a staggering  €900,000, or the equivalent of over $1 million.
