Here’s Your Chance To Own Sebastian Vettel’s Nissan GT-R Black Edition

Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel has put his Nissan GT-R Black Edition up for sale, and it is insane.

Before you get too excited digging into your pockets, you will need to dig deep as it comes with a hefty price tag of £220,000 (€250,000).

According to the listing on Piston Heads, Vettel, who has recently retired from F1, kept the car in his collection but barely drove it. It is ten years old with only 90 miles on the clock. The listing states it is “visually as well as technically an absolutely new vehicle, which represents a unique opportunity for collectors, especially because of the holder history.”

The GT-R Black Edition has red and black Recaro racing seats, a carbon-fibre spoiler, and 20-inch Rays alloy wheels. It benefits from a 3.8-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 engine which provides 545 horsepower and an impressive 0-62 mph time of just 2.7 seconds.

Vettel has previously sold eight of his cars from his private collection in 2021, including a 2016 LaFerrari, a 2004 Ferrari Enzo, a 2015 Ferrari 458, and a 1996 Ferrari F50.

The full listing for the Nissan GT-R Black Edition Sebastian Vettel reads:

“The vehicle offered here was completed for the Swiss market in July 2012 and delivered to Sebastian Vettel, one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers of all time. Sebastian kept the GTR in his private collection throughout, but without using the car.

“And so the mileage of this Nissan GTR still shows only 150 kilometers even 10 years after delivery. Visually as well as technically an absolutely new vehicle, which represents a unique opportunity for collectors, especially because of the holder history. For detailed questions our sales staff is available at any time. Please note that vehicle inspections are generally only possible by prior appointment.”
