Ha, not so fast...some 50 year old billionaire totaled his Veyron on the autobahn the day after he got it or something crazy. Not always just crazy kids. Sucks though. Looks like it took the hit really well, though.
That's not the first actually. That's the 3rd one reported on Autoblog.com. I see lots of these being totaled in the future.
As long as the driver is OK... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I am not sure what it is, but I really am not a big fan of how the new GTRs look...
The wreck happened in Jakarta, Indonesia (good eye to the sleuths on the board). The car belonged to a wealthy Japanese CEO who kept a vacation home (and garage) on the south coast of Java island. Apparently he was on his way to a Polo match in the capital city when an Orangutan jumped in front of his vehicle, causing him to lock up his brakes and slam into a rather sizable tree. The driver was indeed alright. I hope no one believed that. Wikipedia FTW
If an orangutan jumps in front of my $80k car, that mama jamma will be roadkill before I swerve to hit a tree.
It looks like the GT-R has that new hood-popping technology that Nissan was boasting about a while back. Supposed to protect pedestrians hit head on, or I guess orangutans in this case!
