Default Aw Snap! 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.
Well that didn't take long...

I am 99% sure that is in Hong Kong with the green mini bus in the back. Regardless, there goes 1,000,000 HKD..ouch

That is definitely Hong Kong. Taxis are another clue.

The people who have ready cash to buy the car,....would be my guess are not the kind of people who would know how to drive a car like that.
