650S crashed into a tree on its first outing! :(
Discussion
Surely if it was "unloaded at owner's home" and then "moments later" crashed... it was either crashed by the new owner, or it was stolen as it was being unloaded?
I particularly enjoyed the frequency with which the article wanted to remind us of the car's value. How much was it? Oh, £200,000. Right. What happened? And how much you say?

Yeah, I think I would probably remember getting a new McLaren and then smashing it up fairly soon after. ?

My guess:
Owner receives car, pootles about in it. Owners partner/friend/Dad/Uncle/Whatever jumps in for a quick spin and bins it. Panic because of insurance, have a quick seat swap after the crash which raises eyebrows of witnesses, somebody blabs to the police at the scene. Boom.
Aye, sounds likely. Or his insurance hadn't been arranged/swapped over yet but he was too keen to get out in it.Owner receives car, pootles about in it.

The McLaren 650S Spider can cost over £215,000 new, can go from 0 to 62mph in just three seconds and has a top speed of 204mph
did anyone not know that The McLaren 650S Spider can cost over £215,000 new, can go from 0 to 62mph in just three seconds and has a top speed of 204mph?
Just in case think it is very important that everyone reading that article or this thread knows that The McLaren 650S Spider can cost over £215,000 new, can go from 0 to 62mph in just three seconds and has a top speed of 204mph

Have to admit, I do sometimes think that after a certain power to weight threshold, there should be a competency test of sorts before one is allowed to purchase and drive.
Ditto bikes and I mean beyond the standard direct access stuff.
I'm a dyed in the wool petrolhead and libertarian, but it *is* kinda ludicrous that anyone with a licence can drive any level of performance car.

It ires me that these enthusiast cars are so expensive that they are mainly bought by t

You're extrapolating a hell of a lot from one photo/story, no?ts that just want to show off how much money they have, rather than by people who enjoy driving and have some skill/common sense.
