Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long an hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.
Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.
One would think you should drive extra careful in bad weather, but what do I know; I never got a drivers license.
I drive a rear wheel-drive vehicle with no traction control. Even despite the relatively long wheelbase that thing still wants to go sideways on wet tarmac if you apply slightly too much gas. For me the immediate counter-steer is second nature but an inexperienced driver would spin out before they even had time to realize what happened. I can only imagine how much easier and faster that happens on a powerful tiny supercar like that. I'm guessing it's either that what happened here or just good old hydroplaning.

Its 2024, what the fuck are you thinking. I know you’re literally the stig, until you’re not.
You gonna pay for a replacement vehicle?
should I also test his walls for lead paint?
Hey, some of us were dumbed down by the leaded gas fumes in the 70s and 80s.
I had a crazy tank slapper on and oily on-ramp last summer. In my VW bus (not powerful at all, but is rear engined rear wheel drive and predates traction control by a couple decades).
I know I’m not the Stig, but was relieved that all the stupid car stuff I did in my teens still kicked when sitting literally on the front wheels of a big van in my 40s. We avoided the guard rail, and more importantly the CUV that didn’t avoid the guard rail right in front of us.
Easier said than done. We're talking about a rear wheel drive rocket on low profile rubber shoes. You try walking on ice with Bruce Smith pushing you from behind lol.
Guys an idiot for trying but Ricky Bobby himself would have trouble keeping 1st place driving that car in those conditions.
If that's the driver in the picture, I just can't help but feel sorry for the guy. His whole life he's been told having a fancy car means he's made it in life, but nobody ever taught him how to not look like a slob. Some financing department somewhere is raking in their 20% on the loan, and the insurance company is happy to provide the absolute minimum coverage required by law.
Driver - yes.
Owner - who knows...
My money is on it being a rental
If you feel the need to show off your penis size and how much money you got with a car I honestly will laugh when you wreck it.
Seriously, I loathe these assholes in Yale town who need to BRROOAAAAAPPPP accelerate to 100km/h for 2 seconds to then having to slam the breaks for the next stop light. If tomorrow they're all crashed and a total loss, I'd be so happy.
Sorry, zero tears for show offs.
It is possible to own an expensive sports car and not be a giant prick who is a hazard to others in traffic. But the people who buy an expensive sports car purely for the pleasure of driving are much more likely to take it to a track than be dumb on the street, because there aren’t a lot of streets where you can really experience the car to its full potential.
A really expensive car can make you feel like an amazing driver, but can also very suddenly reveal if you’re actually skilled enough to drive it. A lot more people have the money for these cars than the money and skills for these cars.
When I used to race, myself and a few other guys used to embarrass exotics at the track because my Civic cost less than their last major service and I wasnt afraid (financially) of putting it into the wall.
Possible but not probable.
Was there an N on the back?
Sadly didn't see one, but it may have just come off on the concrete barriers lol.
He did actually crack the 2nd concrete barrier that stopped him, noticed that as I drove past earlier
Most likely he'll come up on top as these cars appreciate in value l.
Mclarens? The F1’s appreciation makes full rebuilds viable, but besides maybe the Mclaren Senna or a special P1, they’d likely be totaled. Especially if the monocoque is damaged. Carbon fiber repairs are difficult to impossible to certify for safety.
Damn, that's a beautiful car.
