Wrecked One-77

For those who haven't seen the carnage. And then there were 76 . . .

From the Internet:

"Sad news from super car land, a fine Aston Martin One-77 crashed very hard in the great city of Hong Kong. This car normally lives in the great city of Shenzhen, just across the border, and doesn’t have any license plates, meaning the insurance, if there was any, will not pay a dime. What happened exactly is unclear at the moment but the One-77 seems totaled. The cause of the crash might have to do with the fact that Hongkongnese drive on the wrong side of the road, a left-over from British rule. This can be confusing for a mainland-Chinese driver, especially with 700hp on tap. Via: Weibo."

Read that last night, what a shame!

This same car was spotted just only one week ago - rumored to be the last one built.

Hurts bad. I treat my V12V like a first child. I would murder anyone responsible for this even myself.

Hong Kong should start driving on the right side. British rule was 15 years ago. Time to move on. Sad news.

No, the rest of China should start to drive on the correct side of the road.

Maybe a phased introduction, heavy trucks first, then cars a month later

They'll fix it, I remember seeing pics from a crashed..sry lets rephrase that..TOTALLED DB9, the car took a guard rail at +200kph, took off the left side of the car up till the rear seat area, it then flipped off the expressway and landed on the road be neith on it's top......dealer out there repaired it

Client paid for it all too..something with it's cheaper to pay for it out there versus claiming to the insurance or buying one new..don't know the whole story but insurance would pay but client refused

How does one "fix" this car? Looks like they'd need to rebuild it from scratch.
