The production prides itself on hand-building the GT-R50 using chisels and hammers. The panels on a GT-R Nismo are removed including the C-pillar area, which is replaced with new panels that minimize turbulence and streamline airflow.
Devices such as CMMs, 3D scanners, and laser trackers are used to ensure precision in building the GT-R50. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Laser Projection are also used to “ensure precise alignment and geometric accuracy.” The hand build process is aided by an Eckold machine to shape the body panels and 3D printing for faster production of parts.
Even the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 under the hood is handmade, producing 720 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque.
Nissan is only producing 50 examples of the GT-R 50 with an estimated price of around $1.1 million. As for the standard GT-R, the price starts at $120,990 in the US.
