This Is What A McLaren Looks Like After It Crashes Into A House

This could be the worst aftermath of a crash involving a sports car we've seen since Richard Hammond, and it's fair to say the house wins this battle.

Whenever a sports car is involved in crash, it usually comes off second best.

Remember that Ferrari crash last week in Sandton? Well, what you are about to see is way worse.

A R2,5 million bright orange McLaren 570S was destroyed in a fire, and left in a heap of twisted and charred metal, after the driver drove it into a house.

While both the passenger and the driver managed to escape before the car burst into flames, emergency services rushed to the scene to find the car had taken out a telephone pole as well, reports Mirror.

The crash occurred at about 6AM on Sunday and this is what the aftermath looked like:

Yup, a big ol’ pile of debris.

With a top speed of 330km/h, I feel as if cars like this should require an entry level ‘How To Drive A Sports Car Without Crashing It’ test because, clearly, not everyone can handle all that power.

Not even Richard Hammond can handle
