If you don’t live under a rock (paging Patrick Star), you’ve probably heard rumors of the infamous highlighter orange(ish) million dollar McLaren P1 Accident. The car, local to the DMV, is getting up close and personal with a trip to the body shop this weekend. The P1 that was the star attraction at last month’s DC Exotics meet at Lamborghini of Washington can usually be spotted at random time gallivanting down 495 typically in the worst weather possible for some god awful reason.

The car – belonging to now defunct instagram account @SultanRH, was allegedly stolen by a friend and wrecked after posting videos going speeds of 140mph down 495?! And if that isn’t titillating enough, the entire Jerry Springer worthy story has ended up a feature of Jalopnik after running like wild fire through sites like Oppositelock and Reddit (and of course, DMV Auto Club).

Of course, we were all like…

The McLaren P1 Accident

Pictures of the McLaren P1 accident emerged late Friday night with a blur-tastic photo from what looks like Snapchat (shout out to Brian for the quick print screening abilities) which were shared to the DMV Auto Club’s Facebook group).

Later the next morning, a Facebook user (who later deleted the post – but not before being amazingly print screened yet again in the DMV Auto Club) made this post (names have been removed to protect the “innocent”). OP who later deleted his post that was shared a bagillion times was all like…

He states: “Saw this driving around NW DC yesterday and a friend sent a pic of this today (sad face). Apparently the owner is out of the country and a friend took the car out for a joy ride. I imagine he’s an ex friend now…”

The face you make when your friend steals your McLaren and wreck it?

The story took the “my friend stole my McLaren” turn later that day. As for the owner? He says it’ll be back on the road in under a month which was corroborated by the Tysons McLaren guys as well. Our face when everyone started pointing at everyone else saying “He did it!”

We can only hope to see this unicorn back on the streets, but until then – what an epic story.
