After brand new supercars are launched we are always a bit scared seeing the first one being crashed. The McLaren MP4-12C is next in ourl ist of crashes. The production of the car hasn’t fully started and yet there’s one that needs to visit a repair shop.
According to multiple eyewitnesses, yesterday in Seattle, USA, a McLaren MP4-12C crashed after losing a wheel and spun around facing the wrong direction.
An accidental passant stated:
I was driving on HY-99 Northbound at about 1PM wondering why traffic was so congested. To my surprise I saw three Seattle Police cars and two DOT trucks behind a wrong way facing Mclaren. It turns out the rear passenger wheel was separated from the car.
As unbelievable as this seems, at about 3:30PM, one of the software techs had it on a test drive and someone from the program came to my work and requested equipment to transport the car with only three wheels in their location. He also informed me that a Mclaren technician was dispatched immediately from overseas to tend to the car.

@Josh, we fixed the link :)
Anyone else confused by the fact that the pictures don’t at all match up with the report that the wheel fell off? Those are clearly pics of the passenger side, with both wheels on… No damage either. HOAX!
that dude was eating pizza at 170 and the cheese was too hot lol
It was a right hand drive car, the passenges side is on the left. It is for real.
Driver clearly got out of the land hand side, Gizmo, per the photos. NONE of the US-landed cars, including the XP and VP cars, were right hand drive. Kindly remove your head from your ass.
Of course, it’s not possible that the passenger door was opened, is it.
