Some poor soul with a heavy right foot has the unfortunate honour of being the first to crash a McLaren Senna. To add salt to the wound, the hypercar was delivered just a few hours earlier.
Judging by the picture posted to Instagram, the (now-crying) owner may have given the million-dollar hypercar a few too many beans going into a sharp corner, or they decided to hammer it down a dusty, leaf-laden roadway, and lost grip.
Either way, the Senna found its way to a concrete wall where it luckily only sustained a slight injury, albeit one that triggered the front airbags.
The car was reportedly delivered last Saturday to its 43-year-old entrepreneur owner in Munich, Germany. At the time of delivery it had only 50 kilometres on the odometer; only 500 of these cars, named after the famed racing driver Ayrton Senna, were built.
Before crashing it, the car was capable of hitting 100km/h in 2.8 seconds on to a top speed of 340 kilometres an hour. The 4.0-litre twin turbo engine makes 789 horsepower, and 590 lb-ft of torque.
Motor1 reports Germany authorities estimate the damage to be 850,000 Euros (about $1.27 million), which is pretty close to what the car cost new. We hope the owner fixes it up, but we’re guessing it may take a couple more paycheques before that happens.
