The limited-edition Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign is a show-stopping take on the R35 GT-R formula, debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now it's been let loose on Spa-Francorchamps, in a manufacturer-produced video. It might be a special car worth almost $1.5 million, but the driver isn't holding back. We get a good look at the GT-R50 taking on Eau Rouge, as photographers lean through the barriers for a better look.

The first car to be built under the Italdesign Automobili Speciali brand has been unveiled, although the Italian design house has yet to reveal the vehicle's name. Said to be built on a modular carbon-fibre and aluminium chassis, this car is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10. Although power and torque figures have yet to be announced, Italdesign says that the carbon-fibre-bodied car is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds, and hitting a top speed over 330km/h.

The first images of the Volkswagen Italdesign Giugiaro Tex Concept on the floor of the Geneva Motor Show have emerged ahead of the show’s opening this evening. The Tex will be unveiled alongside the Go! MPV concept on the Volkswagen stand. The two concepts represent the first collaboration between Volkswagen and Italdesign Giugiaro since the German auto giant purchased the famous Italian design house in May 2010.
