Two different carbon fibre finishes are extensively used across the center console, instrument panel and door linings, while the seats feature black alcantara and fine black Italian leather.Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan\u2019s senior vice president of global design, said the Goodwood Festival of Speed was \u201cthe ideal setting\u201d in which to reveal the prototype to the world. He commented: \u201cJust like the prototype itself, Goodwood is a celebration of design, performance, a little indulgence and a lot of love of historic and future automotive creativity. \u201c[The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign is] a unique vehicle that will stir the imagination of people to dream even bigger.\u201dIs the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign really worth almost \u00a3800k?
