A McLaren 720S Spider was wrecked in California earlier within the week – and it was a rental.

Photos of the wreck have been posted on Twitter by the California Freeway Patrol alongside a since-deleted tweet mocking the crash, though they did incorrectly determine the McLaren as a 570S.

“If you hire a McLaren 570 & resolve to race a Lamborghini on the US-101 and crash! Subsequent time it is best to think about getting the rental insurance coverage! Fortunately nobody was significantly injured,” the tweet learn.

The Lamborghini in query was a black Huracan Spyder that may be seen in one of many pictures. Whereas it’s not completely clear how the crash occurred, it was doubtless a case of the motive force of the McLaren merely not with the ability to management a supercar as highly effective because the 720S. In any case, its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 churns out a claimed 710 hp, though repeated dyno runs have revealed it really has greater than that.

It appears obvious that the British supercar made contact with the concrete crash limitations a number of instances as harm has been sustained to each the entrance and rear of the automobile. A lot of the harm is targeting the rear the place one of many wheels, together with the hub, has been fully torn from the automobile.

If the California Freeway Patrol was right with their implication that the renter didn’t pay additional for insurance coverage, that particular person might be in dire straits, particularly if the automobile is deemed to be a write-off.
