Top Gear Magazine was recently having some fun on the Isle of Man with a Nissan GT-R, but the playtime ended unexpectedly when the driver of the GT-R slammed on the brakes. That would be fine in any normal car, but Godzilla came to a halt so abruptly that the Audi behind it just couldn't stop quickly enough. [GT-R Blog] Update: The guys at CarTribe say this is indeed the same GT-R that the Stig had out on the Top Gear test track. We also know that the black beast (the only GT-R officially imported by Nissan UK so far) was quickly repaired and is now back to normal, as can be vouched for by anyone who saw it run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just a few days after the accident.

"Description: UPDATE: 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. This is the GTR that Top Gear used for the Stig power lap, as its the only official Nissan UK imported car. We've being doing some tapping up of contacts and found out that the bump happened in a car park in the Isle of Man just after a photo shoot for the magazine had taken place - ironically just after the journalists were warned to take it easy. The car was hastily repaired and I bet no-one except those in the know noticed that the same car went up the hill at Goodwood just a few days later. "
