Click above for more pics of this bashed up Nissan GT-R
This isn't the first Nissan GT-R to find itself looking like an accordion. We brought you another shattered GT-R in Hong Kong in early January, and a GT-R fender bender a few days later in Shibuya (Tokyo). An Autoblog tipster just sent us a link to yet another bashed-up GT-R in Malaysia. As a purely objective observation, the latest incident does a decent job of demonstrating the integrity of the Nissan GT-R's safety cage. Too bad it's at the expense of supercar carnage. Are we the only ones who think this Nissan GT-R bloodshed is getting out of hand? Thanks for the tip, Eric!

mammy @ Mar 24th 2008 6:43PM

Losers spell "loser" like this: looser.

Its too bad, the electronic gizmos only help you go fast, stopping fast is not in its menu.
dildomassive @ Mar 24th 2008 9:07PM
don't worry in about 100 years your inbred domestics will have "electronic" gizmos in them to.
Russell @ Mar 24th 2008 10:16PM
Are all of you Americans thinking of your selves as inbred, or only ones that were actually inbred?
Zeus.:God @ Mar 25th 2008 10:34AM
Yeah... I'm sure they're looser, I mean, after a crash like that, who wouldn't be?

Such a bummer that a beautiful/amazing car like this falls into incompetent hands.

Or, in my opinion,brain size...

The GT-R has officially joined the 'Death Car' list. People with too much money and too little skill are destroying amazing road-legal racing machines.
Tom @ Mar 24th 2008 10:03PM
I think 'death car' might be a little strong considering no one has actually died in one yet.

You don't leave these keys layin' around when you have teenagers.

SWEET! a parts car!
maybe all the attention they get (currently) causes some of the accidents. How many times have you been distracted by a Lamborari bugasegg F220?
these drivers are prob too busy posing for PR shots and forget about silly little things like stop lights, semis, immovable objects...

So sad to see that, but if any one has some money to spend. buy the VR38DETT and the transmisson and put it in a G35 or G37.
e90+335i @ Mar 24th 2008 7:30PM
why why why why why
the drivetrain and transmission are what make this car what it is
putting it into the G is like putting truffles into a kinder surprise.
e90+335i @ Mar 24th 2008 7:31PM
*meant to say awd system, not drivetrain
:)
Xcountryflyer @ Mar 24th 2008 7:11PM
Another example of supercar death due to driver stupidity most likely. These cars should come with mandatory driving training.

Could not agree more. From a recent post by racecar driver Bryce Miller (of Rolex/ALMS fame):
"When you go to Germany and then come back here to the States your brain freezes for a week. You think, how can everyone be doing this so wrong! So until our States figure out a better driver education and enforcement system, I would have to say this metropolitan area [NYC] certainly needs speed limits. And until we figure it out here in the U.S. it will have to be a missed opportunity at a more efficient road system."

Oh, the horror...
