Turin-based Italdesign teamed up with Nissan to produce this gorgeous version of the infamous all-wheel-drive Japanese rocket, which made its world debut at the recent 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed to commemorate 50 years of the flagship salon.
Now, the 720-hp GT-R50 prototype returns to Japan. It will be on display for a limited time at Nissan Crossing in Tokyo’s Ginza district from Oct. 15 to Nov. 25 (10 a.m. – 8 p.m.). The futuristic Nissan GT-R is hard to miss, finished in special Liquid Kinetic Gray with distinctive Energetic Sigma Gold accents.

But alongside the 3.8-liter V6-powered supercar is Seiko’s special custom-made Grand Seiko Sports Collection Spring-Drive Chronograph GMT watch featuring the flagship Godzilla which goes on sale today.
While we don’t have many details or pricing, the Seiko timepiece incorporates the GT-R50’s dual gold grey combo, sporting a large, elegant face with the chrono function typical of motor-inspired watches, letting you time races and events.
Unfortunately, the chances of parking a GT-R50 prototype on your driveway are slim to none. But maybe a watch in the same vein may be a bit more realistic.
