This Nissan GT-R Crashed At 218mph And Somehow Didn't Roll
At a 1/2 mile drag racing event held on a runway in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, this 2000bhp GT-R lost control at well over 200mph, spinning out and only just avoiding a roll
Thanks to a roll being very narrowly avoided, the damage to this GT-R was surprisingly minor considering the speeds involved. According to the video uploader, the driver had this to say about the crash: “Car has a roll cage and a fire suppression system. No chute and nothing would have helped. Car snapped a [sic] after market camber arm, suspension got lose and sent car into spin.”
However, we can’t help but wonder if the car could have done with a more substantial roll cage. Had it flipped over like in the 200mph crash of the 1800bhp Camaro we were looking at last week, the driver might not have come away quite so cleanly.

The driver must have been like:
“minor damage”…yeah right. cause a missing front bumper and rear wheels that are facing the wrong direction is “minor damage”
Considering he spun out at 218mph, that’s fairly minor ;)
I don’t think a complete suspension rebuild is “minor damage”.
Considering you just crashed at 218 mph
TIS BUT A SCRATCH!
That’s so damn lucky
If it wouldn’t roll,try to call in FailRace,he’ll roll it for sure!
Calling FailRace …
I am always ready for when a car needs to be rolled :D
That guy needs to join FailRace after that.
they say american cars can not turn but japanese can not go straight
Just keep on mind that this one has 2000 HP.
I Like the way the wind put the left mirror backward at 1min56
Looks like an utterly unprofessional choice to go and do record hunting on a bumpy track like that. The video shows around 1:00 how sh!t the conditions are. The normal German motor way has better stability …
