Sebastian Vettel’s Nissan GT-R Black Edition for sale

4-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement from the sport earlier this year. If you have been following him on and off the track, you would be aware that he once owned a Nissan GT-R. Well, now is your chance to buy yourself some Vettel memorabilia.

Vettel’s R35 Nissan GT-R Black Edition is now up for sale. The car is listed in Pleidelsheim, Germany, for a cool EUR250,000.

The Black Edition was introduced by Nissan in 2012. The car has an all-black exterior with 20-inch Rays wheels and a carbon fibre rear spoiler. Inside, it gets Recaro racing seats wrapped in red and black leather upholstery.

Powering this special edition GT-R is a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that develops 545 hp and 463 lb-ft of torque, which enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. Interestingly, this particular example has just 93 miles on the clock. It seems Vettel rarely got a chance to drive it.
