Rent a McLaren, challenge a Lamborghini and crash – Auto World

Deciding to rent a supercar just for the sake of challenging another in a speed race might not be a brilliant idea. To confirm this is a bizarre story that comes from the United States where a man borrowed one McLaren 720S to challenge one Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, finishing his race against the concrete protective barriers of the road, causing several damages to the Woking fireball.

The incident was spread through some photos on Twitter by the official account of the local traffic police, the California Highway Patrol. “When you rent a McLaren 570 and decide to race in a Lamborghini on US-101 and crash! Next time you should consider taking out rental insurance! Fortunately, no one was seriously injured “ we read in the tweet of the authorities. It is not clear if the unfortunate and self-styled improvised driver has not really thought about taking out an insurance policy, which would cause many problems for the driver as well as a really high bill given the damage that can be seen in the photos present online. No information was disclosed on the dynamics of the accident but from the police shots it can be seen that both the front and rear of the McLaren 720S are damaged, probably due to the impact against the protective barriers.

The man driving may have lost control, perhaps due to the car’s excessive power that he may not have been used to, crashing into the concrete Guard Rails. The most serious damage appears to be at the rear, where one of the wheels has been completely ripped off. McLaren 720S is the second gem of the Sport Series range, a line that will be replaced by a new family of cars that have in the plug-in hybrid Artura, presented a few weeks ago, its progenitor.
