Jalopnik
The folks over at NAGTROC snagged some shots of a new 2009 Nissan GT-R R35 in a slight state of disrepair this morning. And by "slight state of disrepair" we mean crumpled, crunched and crap-kicked. It's sad seeing a speed demon like this all busted up — it's like watching Godzilla getting the scales kicked off of him by Mothra. OK, that's not true. In reality this is worse for us to look at — because everyone knows this here Godzilla ain't imaginary. Pardon us while we spend a moment wiping away our tears. But we've got to look on the bright side — as one Jalopnik editor said upon seeing the sad, sad pics: "Well, at least we know the airbags work." Bright side, indeed. (Hat tip to Eric!)

Looks like the Joker got away this time.
From the A-pillar back it looks fine. A little bondo and it's back in business.
@13oostedwgn:
COTD-worthy.
as much as i don't like 'em, its sad to see people destroy them...
I think it ran into the real Goji
too early for a "Save the GTRs" shirt?
It looks like that should buff right out.
Sorry, but someone had to say it.
Mawless in Mawlaysia!
*opens a 40, pours some out on the ground*
*sniff*
Ah...wonder what we can put the engine in?
@disgustepated: 10w-40, I hope.
Kinda sorta seems that all those fancy electronic gizmos that Godzilla has are a little too confidence inspiring...
@DrJeffie: I think you'd be doing well to salvage the engine in useable condition. This thing is well stuffed.
@DrJeffie: Who needs to drop the engine in anything? Just tear away all the twisted bits, bolt on two or three radiators, and you're ready to go tear up the Apocalypitiburgring.
1. Perhaps Godzilla needs to visit Kuala Lampur and straighten these disrespectful fucks out.
2. Mothra?!? 28 films, and the best the moth could do was a coordinated silly string attack....by her kids. Fuckin' Mothra?!?!....(kicks Pagoda in moment of apoplexy)
Was the driver going for the pole shot?
Wondering what crumpled this car, a sound barrier?
Someone didnt get virus protection for their GTR's computer driver.
Goddamit...
What is the URL for Craigslist Malaysia?
at least the front-end looks were improved.
@13oostedwgn: 10w30, i hope not. Gojira deserves only the finest synthetics.
@Scroggzilla: That is what I was thinking. I would like to see Mothra take on King Ghidorah solo. (Without traveling back in time)
Perfect for Lemons racing
wheres my checkbook?
Considering how hard of a hit that it took, the rest of the panel are surprisingly straight looking. That passenger side looks like all the door gaps are still pretty even, which is pretty impressive IMO.
So how long before we get "Save Godzilla" t shirts?
@Ω βгåғғ™: [malaysia.craigslist.org]
I got dibs on the Fiat
1 down, a couple thousand more to go...
Dibs on the MR2.
[malaysia.craigslist.org]
I wonder if Kazunori Yamauchi and the bods at Polyphony Digital have seen these shots yet...
@workingonyourinvoice:
@htrodblder:
What ever you do... DO NOT search for a well-worn tranny...
Next on my list is to find craigslist Slovakia and earn my Bloodhound tattoo...
Dibs on the wheels!
Looks better than Coulthard's car did last weekend in Malaysia...
+ Watch video
That is an obese Godzilla.
@Ω βгåғғ™: No Slovakia CL.
mon dieu that puts the malaise in malaysia..
That picture actually made me consider a Nissan over a Mustang for my 16 b-day.
Frankly, color me impressed.
Nissan's engineers did a superior job protecting stupid drivers from themselves!
So the airbags work but the brakes--maybe not so much?
good riddance. the faster they crash, the faster these horrid looking bastids go to hell
I thought this was the American street(racer edition) but the steering is on the right side
I don't understand the backlash against this car at all... This thing is a world beater, supercar numbers at sub 100K pricing (before dealer markup, which will SahHUCK)
Also, I thought most people here preferred "ugly but fast".
Better get used to that sight. When the Hogan kid gets his hands one.. well, you know.
@Khanaar: It's still better looking than the Scion Hako.
Or the new Camaro, for that matter.
Bring out yer dead!
@mekazilla: So you mean the wrong side, right?
This GTR died for all of Enzo's sins. Every time a GTR wrecks, a wrecked Enzo gets its wings.
fuck the enzo.
what do you think i could get that wreck for? godzilla engine for cheap?
@Dr.Danger: With a MechaGodzilla vs ASIMO undercard!
@MeDuh:
Hmm, I wonder what we could put that engine in? How bout we promote sacrilege and install the engine in a classic muscle car, Mustang Mach 1 with a GTR engine. Godzirra engine, ftw!
How long do you think it will take for a ZR1 to be crashed?
@Молотов: wtftw!
