This Is All That's Left Of A McLaren 570S That Crashed Into A House
Before Sunday morning, the burned-out carcass you see in the images above was a gleaming Ventura Orange McLaren 570S. You’d struggle to tell now, as, well… there’s really not a whole lot left.
It hit a house near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, during the early hours of Sunday, bursting into flames shortly after. The vehicle’s two occupants managed to escape with only minor injuries. BBC News quotes Damien Bence of Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue as saying: “Prior to hitting the building it snapped an electric pole in half, and forced the top half of the pole through the window of the house”. He also said that it was “absolutely amazing” that the pair were able to walk away from the wreck. Score one for the carbonfibre Monocell…
The decapitated electrical pole complicated matters for the rescue services, since it left a “live electrical cable” flopped across the road. As a result, fire personnel had to “negotiate their way through part of a wood in order to get to the incident.”
Part of the house the car struck (what looks to be a porch) collapsed in the crash, but the local fire service said the property had been “shored up and made safe.”
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Proof that the house always wins.
This is why rich people can’t have nice things!
No.
Quick, we neeed to help it find a new home!
A new way for breaking down a Mclaren:
Spec your car with a Mclaren Orange paintjob and Paul Walker it to a house.
He thought he was a mustang and tried to kill the family Inside….
END ME NOW XD
This is sad. I am sad.
How much for the wheels?
Yeah about that….
rip…
How did they get into the crash? The McLaren 570S can be quite safe, as it is a sports vehicle, so what was the driver doing?
A Tesla or Rimac catches a bit of fire and everyone goes bonkers, a McLaren 570S burns to bits and people just comment about the driver
