info:  
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.
