Post Nissan GT-R Gets Hit in Rear During Top Gear Photo Shoot

Although details are a bit sketchy, it seems Top Gear magazine was performing a photo shoot on the Isle of Man with a assortment of other “comparison” cars. Although it's not clear if an Audi R8 was one of those “comparisson” cars, it apparently rear ended the GT-R which stoped short.

Adding to the unsubstantiated story, the GT-R with a booked itinerary of appearances, including a toss up the Goodwood hill, was repaired over night and successfully fulfilled its obligations in its impure condition

I'm assuming it was a press/demo car as opposed to someone's personal vehicle? Either way, that sucks big time for that to happen.

Good point, I believe the only GTR's currently in the UK are grey/private imports...

Sucks!

Top Gear magazine crashed it, not the tv show.
