Crash is a novel by English author J. G. Ballard, first published in 1973. It is a story about symphorophilia; specifically car-crash sexual fetishism: its protagonists become sexually aroused by staging and participating in real car-crashes.

Look for the publishing detail that reads 'London: Jonathan Cape, 1973', without mention of reprints or later editions.
