A man showing off his $845,000 supercar has been left red-faced after revving the Porsche in front of an impressed audience — before crashing it moments later.

The shirtless gearhead can be seen revving the V8 engine of his silver Porsche 918 Spyder, cruising between a crowd gathered outside the Hotel Epi-Plage in Saint-Tropez, France.

The cocky driver, wearing expensive shades and with a giggling blonde in the passenger seat, smiles at the gathered audiences before sticking up his fingers in the devil’s horn sign.

The audience seems impressed as the driver pumps out music and waves his hands, with one person reaching out to tap the car as it speeds off.

The car then swerves through the parking lot, narrowly avoiding a group of pedestrians.

A person can also be heard screaming as the supercar speeds off.

But the hybrid sports car, which has a top speed of 210 miles per hour, then smashes into the back of a parked 4×4.

The Porsche is left with a crumpled hood and smoke can be seen hissing out of the car as concerned hotel staff rush to the scene.

The video, which was shared by @kristina_lifetime in 2015, has suddenly taken off on Instagram and gone viral in the process.

The video, which has been viewed more than 1.5 million times already, has now attracted widespread criticism for the driver.

One Instagram user wrote: “His own fault for trying to show off!”

Another wrote: “People love watching idiots be idiots!”

A third wrote: “887 horsepower + traction control that works + shirtless silly guy.”
