Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign Bound for Production

It seems to be a prime week for frightening headlight arrangements. Following all hands being turned to stone after casting their eyes upon the LT-trimmed 2020 Silverado HD, we learn this Italdesign creation will be entering production next year.

Dubbed the “Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign,” it’s obviously based upon the R35 GT-R. In addition to its alarming front fascia, the company has also upped the power ante to 710 horses.

And, oh yeah – it’ll set you back a cool million.

Scrotie about 4 years ago there was a 1992 oldsmobile toronado which was a travtech-avis pilot car that had the prototype nav system and had a big antenna on the back. it sold quick and id never seen another ever again. i think they wanted like 13500 for it which was steep for an early 90s gm car.
SunnyGL I helped my friend buy one of these when they came in 2013 (I think). We tried a BMW 535xi, an Audi A6 and then this. He was very swayed by the GS350 and it helped a lot that Lexus knocked about $8k off the MSRP. I guess they wanted to get some out there. He has about 90k on it now and it's been very reliable, but some chump rear-ended it hard when it was only a few years old.From memory, liked the way the Bimmer drove and couldn't fathom why everyone thought Audi interiors were so great at that time - the tester we had was a sea of black.The GS350's mpg is impressive, much better than the '05 G35x I had which could only get about 24mpg highway.
Theflyersfan Keep the car. It's reliable, hasn't nickeled and dimed you to death, and it looks like you're a homeowner so something with a back seat and a trunk is really helpful! As I've discovered becoming a homeowner with a car with no back seat and a trunk the size of a large cooler, even simple Target or Ikea runs get complicated if you don't ride up with a friend with a larger car. And I wonder if the old VW has now been left in Price Hill with the keys in the ignition and a "Please take me" sign taped to the windshield? The problems it had weren't going to improve with time.
SPPPP I don't think it's a sign of pressure from external competition, but rather a healthy sign of letting practicality trump triumphalism on the assembly floor. Does a 1-piece casting make sense? Imagine the huge investment (no pun intended) in the tooling for that structure. Now imagine that a change in regulation or market conditions requires a change to the structure. You're going to build all the tooling all over again? Why not use "gigacasting" selectively, to build right-sized modules that can be assembled simply and repeatably? Changing 1/3 of the tooling is much less costly. Additionally, it makes the vehicles repairable, instead of being subject to total loss in a minor accident.
Formula m Oh my first Ford learning experience was with a sales manager who is a former stripclub manager with a Satan’s choice tattoo on his forearm… was very eye opening. You can imagine how he has contributed to Ottawa over his long tenure with Ford. Hopefully A.I. gives a different experience
