Those limited examples, unquestionably, would come at a very expensive price tag. The source report suggests that the starting price could be around USD 1,050,000. It will only get more expensive with the custom requirements by the customer.

As reported earlier, the 2018 Nissan GT-R NISMO model commemorates the 50th anniversaries of both the GT-R and Italdesign. While Italdesign developed, engineered and built the car, the distinctive exterior and interior designs were created by the teams at Nissan Design Europe in London and Nissan Design America.
