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.

This was at my local cars & coffee, really shows money doesn’t buy driving skills
Turn traction control off they said, it will be fun they said…..
This is what happens when you have money but you dont know nothing about cars
Dudes lucky he was in a mclaren, any other car hit a tree like that and the chassis would be split in half and he’d be gone.
At least driver is alive
Money. Does not. Buy. Driving. Talent.
Im more happy this guy drove the car hard enough to crash rather than having it sit in a garage. Im sure he had a lot more fun either way.
Sad 😭
