Video: Nissan GT-R crashes into Golf, bursts into flames

By Brett Davis |

It’s unclear what happened exactly, with international reports saying various things, but it is clear that a new Nissan GT-R, while out on a club driving day of some sort in Malaysia, has collided with a Volkswagen Golf and then burst into flames.

It’s not a pretty sight seeing one of today’s best sports cars burning to a crisp. The only advice we can offer here is: take car on the roads, especially on club drives as there’s normally a lot of testosterone circulating. And always stick to your side of the road.

Fortunately, there’s been no report of any serious injury to either the Golf or GT-R occupants. Check out the still-exploding components of the GT-R as the camera car nervously drives past the wreckage.

    The reckless Golf driver must have spilt his latte while checking his hair in the drivers vanity mirror,lost control,tried to regain it but understeered(poor dynamics)into the nice and friendly GTR that was delivering food to the sick.

    “The Nissan marketing department was quick to point out that the GT-R also burns faster than a Ferrari”

    and…

    “Oh, I hope not, otherwise Porsche will add a system to the 997 Turbo S that detects fire and injects fuel into the source to make it burn even faster than that. Before you know it there’ll be a Nissan GT-R Michael Bay Edition that explodes on contact with anything. Especially rival supercars, which somehow come off worst every time…”
