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. Thanks for the tip, Jeff!

This wouldn't have happened if he was in a GT-R...oh wait, nevermind, wrong post.

I swear, i honestly believe that you car manufacturers should require you to take a driving school to operate high end fast vehicles.... i think it should be added to cost of vehicle because with that training /\ is less likely to happen.

Although not a Nissan GT-R this Ford GT crash looks and feels alot worse, almost on par with an Enzo crash:

I think that an incentive should be offered for high performance driving school when you purchase a car like this.
naggs @ Jan 7th 2008 2:19PM
if insurance companies were smart, they would give a discount for attending racing training.
but their dum and they dont
ambientFLIER @ Jan 7th 2008 11:36PM
If you were smart, you'd spell "they're" and "dumb" correctly.

dammit!

Definately Hong Kong. Red and Silver Toyota taxi in the background gives it away.
Jason Bird @ Jan 7th 2008 12:52PM
Good Eye...Toyota Crowns were the only cabs that I saw in Hong Kong.
Schwae @ Jan 7th 2008 1:18PM
Yup HK....looks like HK island right near the Star Ferry Terminal and MTR Hub.
Louis Duran @ Jan 7th 2008 5:25PM
I heard the driver was taken into custody and charged with a DWA. :-)
Menice @ Jan 7th 2008 11:33AM
there are no plates on the back...?
hope it wasn't out for a test drive... or like the shop guy was taking out for gas before a customer pick up...
doh!
Jose @ Jan 7th 2008 11:33AM
Driving classes should be included with this car. Looser.
Tragedy @ Jan 7th 2008 11:40AM
Grammar classes should be included with your computer. What's a 'looser'? Loser.
Andrew @ Jan 7th 2008 11:48AM
Bahahaha
tpp @ Jan 7th 2008 1:06PM
Technically you're correct. He did loose his car, so he's a looser as well as a loser.
;)
naggs @ Jan 7th 2008 2:22PM
I just want to point out that there is at least one grammatical or spelling error in all 3 of the posts pointing out the grammatical/spelling error.
Tools.

Is the roof buckled at the apex of the window? Or is it always that sharp of a crease?
Franz @ Jan 7th 2008 11:40AM
Nah, that's how it always looked. My heart bleeds though. Oh, the carnage!
Mike @ Jan 7th 2008 11:50AM
Yeah, wasn't sure... maybe its just the angle of the photo, but for a second it looked like the roof was buckling, BS6 style
