Video captures McLaren Senna crash
In an event reminiscent of “What Were You Thinking, Mate?”, a McLaren Senna valued at a staggering .2 million was filmed spinning out of control in Los Angeles. The driver, seemingly eager to showcase their driving prowess—or lack thereof—attempted to impress on Ventura Boulevard. The outcome? Certainly not a textbook example of expert driving.
A clip of the event rapidly circulated online depicts the McLaren speeding down the road, only for the driver to try a doughnut before an audience. Spoiler alert: it didn’t quite succeed. Rather than executing a polished turn, the vehicle strayed off the track and headed straight towards a Lexus dealership. Talk about taking a misguided route!
The footage initially appeared on Reddit, garnered views faster than a kangaroo sprinting. And let’s face it, who wouldn’t be curious about the chaos when a million-dollar supercar runs amok?
Daring stunt culminates in dealership crash.
The driver’s endeavour to perform a stylish doughnut swiftly became costly. As the McLaren Senna lost control, it skidded off the pavement and collided head-on with a Lexus dealership. If you’re going to mismanage a .2 million hypercar, hitting a row of parked vehicles at a luxury dealership probably isn’t the best outcome. But alas, that’s what transpired.
Onlookers described the crash as both astounding and unavoidable. One moment, the McLaren was speeding along, and the next, it was careening into the dealership like a bull in a china shop. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the harm inflicted on McLaren and the dealership was significant. To put it mildly, that repair estimate will look about as pleasing as a crocodile’s grin.
It’s fair to conclude that this reckless stunt earned the driver no admirers. The audience that had come to witness the spectacle quickly shifted from awe to shock. The driver’s attempt to show off backfired dramatically, and instead of departing to cheers, they left with a devastated supercar and likely a hurt pride. It was not quite the glamorous ending they envisioned.
