Chinese MINI Clone Flips Golf V in Russia

The craziness that is Russian crash video will never stop amazing us. Just when we though we’d seen it all (not really!), they come up with something new to entertain us with.
Both the protagonists in this crash are novices, with licenses less than a year old. The big exclamation mark on their rear screens are a sign to other drivers they should watch out. Of course, this doesn’t really help when the other driver is also a novice.

The silver supermini is not some sort of Lada, like you’d expect to find in any Russian crash. It’s actually the Lifan 320, widely known across the world as the MINI Cooper clone from Chine. It’s best attribute is that it’s cheap, perfect for the novice driver.

The Lifan driver probably decided he wants to make a right turn at the upcoming intersection. But a Golf is coming in the right lane and it ploughs straight into the Chinese car. The Golf then hits a bank of dirt and a rail, flipping over like a toy car.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
