That front crumple zone is amazingly efficient!!  Sad to see another bite the dust though!

[ShahulX]

wow, Asian people can't drive ... LOL

I had a Asian lady wreck a Honda fit into the front of my building... I so wanted to say " you broke it, you bought it" LOL ....

Anyhow... Both black too.... Hmmmm

[Davin]

any word on what happened?

[gtrjack]

Isn't that the same car that crashed in Hong Kong????

[Neoseven]

I would love to find out the speed of these accidents.  How delicate is the GT-R?  Both of these make the car appear totaled.

[mrmajik2]

The thing is that new cars are designed for the front end to absorb most of the impact.  Cars are made to fold up.  The most important part is that the cabin in intact.  You know this car was designed with safety in mind.  It will score a high head on crash test rating judging by these pictures.

[ShahulX]

yea, both those cars are totaled...  wonder if the wheels and things will be available for sale as spare parts?

[Lionus]

notice how the GT-R badge from the side vent is gone already..    they'll probably reappear on some Proton..

[ShahulX]

lol.... yea, thats sad, i'll be pissed if my car gets its badges stolen

[lincolntran]

With the weight, I think people just have no idea that the GTR can go very fast in a short amount of time.

[ShahulX]

that" car and driver" article said its speed is "deceptive" and you dont know its going that fast

[GTRV35]

I've personally never understood the fetish of car crashes....I find them offensive to even look at. hope the poor bloke is okay

[suka jones]

it would at least be nice to recycle that "black ed" interior, over here

if there was a car to put it in, that is...

[Sonzilla]

Word is the owner was on his way to Sepang. I bet he was headed to the F1 race and got way to excited showing off.

Asian women do have a stereotype in America that they are below average drivers.  And it may have some truth in it. My mom is asian and she is not a good driver.  

However, it would be idiotic to make the generalization that "Asian people can't drive" based on this one wreck.  We do not know if an Asian was driving the car when it was wrecked and we do not know if it was the driver's fault.

I'm guessing you were being sarcastic......heh

Those new pedestrian safegaurds seem to be doing there job in popping up the hood

As with all super cars: Handle respectfully  or it will bite.
These should be lessons to those who feel that the GT-R has so much control, it is still in the hands of the driver to determine where the car goes.
None of this point and mash the pedal shit....

To quote "gtrjack"s signature...

NISSAN: "We don't defy physics with the GT-R, we apply it properly."

Well apperently this guy didn't

So this happened in Malaysia but the guy was Singaporean if I understand the Malaysian forums rightly. They speak funny english those Malaysians...

If this guy is Singaporean then is this the car that was at the Sing GTR meet the other day? Apparently the plate number on the crashed GT-R is "66"
