    Nissan and Italdesign Build A GT-R ‘Without Limits’ Called GT-R50

    What you are seeing is the result of a collaboration between Nissan and Italdesign and according to Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design, it is a “GT-R without limits.”

    Appearance wise it is very much GT-R but it looks more like something built specifically for Gran Turismo or Need for Speed.

    Designers managed to lower the roofline by about 54 millimeters, which features a lower center section and slightly raised outer portions. Gold inlays accent the GT-R’s signature “samurai blade” cooling outlets behind the front wheels. 

    The iconic round taillights are still there but this time they feature thin light rings and hollow centers. To complete the exterior look, there is a large, adjustable rear wing and some 21″ custom wheels. 

    The basis is a 2018 Nismo GT-R but the biturbocharged 3.8-litre V6 now produces an estimated 710 horsepower (530 kW) and 780 Nm of torque. Changes include high-flow, large-diameter GT3 competition-spec turbochargers and larger intercoolers, high-flow piston jets, revised camshaft profiles, higher-flow fuel injectors, and heavy-duty crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods and bearings. Engineers also reinforced the dual-clutch sequential six-speed rear transaxle and installed stronger differentials and drive shafts. 

    The suspension also saw a revision, featuring the Bilstein continuously adjustable damping system. Six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo brakes provide stopping power while Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires offer grip.

    Based on these images alone, does it tick all the right boxes for you or is it just a little too much to take in? We are in the latter at this stage.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
