This Guy Bought A McLaren 720S And Destroyed It The Next Day
With 710bhp developed by its 4.0-litre V8 - all of which is sent rearwards - the McLaren 720S is not a car you want to take liberties with. It’s a car where full throttle applications have to be taken seriously - they’re something to work your way up to. Otherwise, you might end up like this 720S owner.
The driver destroyed the McLaren in a crash on Saturday morning near Great Falls, Virginia, having apparently only been purchased the previous day. Egg, meet face.
The 720S starts at $284,745 in the USA, so it’s likely this example weighed in over $300,000 with options.
We’re not entirely sure how the driver crashed, with the Fairfax County Police merely saying that the wreck happened “because of speed”. We’ll let you speculate.
The owner was taken to hospital with “only non-life threatening injuries,” the authorities said.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

So does that mean he’s not coming on then?
Underrated comment of the week
next supercar he buys he’ll probably crash it on the way out of the dealer. remind me to sign the warranty before you hand me the keys.
talk about a $300 grand dent.
His dent costs more than your house
Almost heaven,west Virginia lol
I’d be willing to bet money he came out of that corner and got loose.
The wreck happened because of speed? I would say that it was the sudden absence of speed that caused it.
I’m just gonna cry in a corner for an hour.
I, once, “had” a friend who told me that the reason people buy expensive car is that the cars are so smart so good you can just smash the gas pedal and the car will take care of you. lol
