A transporter with expensive cars overturned on the highway

At a time when the price of cars is rising, the least that new car buyers expect is news of damage to their cars. This is exactly what happened in the UK these days when a transporter with expensive cars overturned on the road.

Last week, British police received a call that a transporter with several supercars had overturned on the A20 near Farningham (Kent), not far from the famous Brands Hatch circuit. The vehicles are thought to be used to provide driving experiences at the racing circuit. The transporter driver escaped with only a minor injury. The cause of this accident is still unknown.

The video of this accident was published on the Twitter profile “Kent999s”, and can be seen damaged cars such as a Lamborghini Aventador, a Jaguar F-Type, two Ferraris, a Mercedes-AMG GT, a Nissan GT-R, an Aston Martin and a BMW, while a Bentley Continental ended on the roof.

It is not known how much the cars were damaged and whether some of them escaped unscathed. However, it is not easy for car enthusiasts to see such examples of expensive cars damaged.

The Nissan GT-R rolled over 11 times

Owners of super sports cars or tuned cars, with a large number of horsepower, try to show their performance on race tracks. This can often be very dangerous, especially if you lose control over the steering, as the driver of the Nissan GT-R experienced.

At the recent GT-R Challenge held at Cootamundra Airport (Australia), Nissan GT-R driver Mick Mansour survived a rollover 11 times. He was competing in an acceleration race and during the race the wheels touched the grass which caused the tire to explode at a speed of 168 mph (270 km/h). The driver lost control over the car and the car rolled over. Luckily, Mansour was not seriously injured, and after the race he said that he couldn’t believe that he managed to survive and that he didn’t have any fractures.

The Nissan GT-R driven by Mansour develops 1,500 hp (1,103 kW), which is less than the standard 2,100 hp (1,544 kW) that other cars have. The Nissan was equipped with standard equipment for this type of racing, which includes a roll cage and seat belts and other safety equipment.

The car was not completely destroyed. Some parts survived the accident such as the engine, gearbox and differential.
