Sebastian Vettel is headed off into retirement, and apparently, that has caused the F1 world champ to shift some priorities around. Admittedly, a Nissan GT-R Black Edition does clash with the driver's now very climate-conscious public persona. It appears Vettel is making like Hamilton did a few years back, selling off some of his more thirsty toys.
Hamilton famously sold his private jet and Pagani over global warming, but we suspect Vettel is also selling this car because he simply isn't going to use it. The odometer reads just 150 km, or 93 miles. Reportedly, that's because Seb never drove the thing.

As a quick refresher, the GT-R Black Edition was one of two trim offerings for this generation of GT-R at the time. It was a $10,000 option package, which added 20-inch Rays forged alloy wheels, a carbon wing, and red-black Recaro seats. Power was unchanged- 545 horsepower and 463 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels courtesy of a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6.
Like so many F1 drivers, it appears Vettel just didn't do much driving off the track, with this or many of his other supercars. Vettel recently sold off quite a number of them last year, well before he had announced his retirement from the sport.

These included other similarly low-mile exotics, like a few Ferraris including an Enzo, a LaFerrari, and an F50. Others Vettel has sold include a BMW Z8 with around 20,000 miles on it, a Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series, and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing.
The car is listed out of Pleidelsheim, Germany, but was built for the Swiss market. Vettel owns a home in Switzerland, and it's likely the GT-R has spent most of its ten-year lifespan there. The listing states the car will run you $250,000 EUR, or $265,956.25 in good ol' American dollars.
