    First Nissan GT-R crash

    First Nissan GT-R crash


    Even with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, the Nissan GT-R must still be handle for some with its 480-horsepower twin-turbo 3.8L V6. Something like that must've been the case with the owner of this black GT-R, who has earned the distinctly displeasurable honor of being the first to crash a production Nissan GT-R. The location of the crash is unknown, though some forum goers have guessed Hong Kong. The circumstances surrounding the accident are also a mystery, though it's clear that the GT-R hit something almost head on and that its crumple zones do, in fact, work quite well. Hopefully we won't be posting about GT-Rs that bite the dust as often as we do Enzos, but clearly Nissan's new supercar needs to be respected by novice drivers.

    Yep!!!

    It is so new, there isn't a license plate/tag on the rear of the car. If there was one in the front, the guard rails is not giving it back....

    China would be a perfect place for testing as there wouldn't be the same media presence there as there would be else where, also do we know when this crash was, you say it's a production car but it might be a pre-production being tested by some magazine.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    From the photos of the street signs, the tow truck and the labels on the coats of the police, I wouldn't think it is mainland China. Maybe Taiwan? Someplace more english language friendly.

    There is alot of fog or smog or haze or pollution....

    What about a bus? or a wall? The bus station sure lives up to its name...
