<p>Top Gear has had its fair share of mishaps. There was that time the Stig took the Koenigsegg CCX on an off-track excursion, and of course <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/search/?q=hammond">Hammond's horrific crash in the jet dragster</a>. The latest incident involves the one and only Nissan GT-R press car in Great Britain. Apparently it was involved in a fender bender in the Isle of Man after a photoshoot for Top Gear magazine. It seems that the GT-R wasn't damaged too badly, despite the pic of its naked arse above, and the same exact car ran up the hill at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/GoodwoodFestivalofSpeed/">Goodwood Festival of Speed</a> only a couple days later. <br></p>

Damn, they are still using those shitty trunk vents?

[MikeisNissan]

So what happened?

[memo92]

That's a good pic of the rear exhaust.

To the chaps at Top Gear I would like to say ... "How unlucky.":2f2f:

[racer98]

Clarkson's ?

[racer98]

So what happened?

Clarksons ego.:bowrofl:

[reccakun08]

Clarksons ego.:bowrofl:

haha maybe he hurt his neck again and crashed.

[carnagexxxx]

JEEBUS, that just hurt my soul a bit. Funny how just last night I was watching that episode where The Stig crashed that Koenigsegg CCX. It was funny how it "ate" a tire.

I can't wait to see this episode of how it crashed.

YouTube - Fastest Car Ever on Top Gear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg5mcR343rE) lol that's fast

[YoungGun]

[Oo_Skyline_oO]

Ithink its this this GT-R he raped YouTube - Top Gear - Nissan GT-R R35 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Fo4ZpdZ94)

[spartanic]

I remember Clarkson broke something in his back while testing out the new GT-R, now that says a lot and he has driven just about everything out there.

[IIIXziuR]

Salvage Title!! Har Har Har

[CrazyTrance]

hahahahahahahahaha

[DUFFM4N]

if you click on the picture, there's a lil article that tells you what happened

"The GTR was being reversed by a senor member of Top Gear magazine and the driver reversed at pace into an Audi R8 also being used on the test"

[Landers]

ouch!! too supercars getting fucked./

[Black-Sheep]

The R8 a supercar?
the Ford GT40, Z06, Porsche GT3 are supercars.... the R8? never!

i wonder if there is a topgear test between those two (R8 vs GT-R)...

[SilviaDoctrine]

Better stated, two really nice and expensive cars getting owned at the same time! I would feel horrible if I was the guy who crashed them.

I want a GT-R :) Even though the rear end is messed up in the pic, the exhaust just looks sex.

[160Z]

Not so sure about the R8 either but it is nice and expensive
