Driver crashes £200,000 McLaren minutes after it’s delivered
The McLaren 650S can cost more than £215,000 new and is capable of 0-62mph in just three seconds before achieving a top speed of 204mph.

Celebrations following the arrival of a brand new McLaren 650S were short-lived last week after the 204mph car was left in bits on a grass verge just minutes after the proud new owner took delivery of it at his home.

Neighbours saw the owner with a bottle of champagne as the car was being unloaded for delivery just before the crash.

It appears a red-faced motorist lost control of the McLaren and collided head-on with a tree in Essex.

Essex police have appealed for information and say enquiries are on-going to determine who was driving the car at the time.

It comes as a report by car-crash management firm Accident Exchange revealed that almost a third of vehicle owners are involved in a crash in their brand new car within just two months of ownership.

The research suggests that the average cost of accident repairs is £2,050 – a snip compared to what the repair bill is likely to be for this McLaren.
