First McLaren MSO HS Crash Didn't Take Long, Seems Frustratingly Silly

Whenever a new supercar is released, it's impossible to refrain from asking oneself when its first crash would take place, but things don't always move as quickly as in the case of the McLaren MSO HS.
With deliveries having kicked off around the second half of September, the spiciest model in Woking's current line-up has already gone through its first accident. We can now check out the accident thanks to Instagram user Usmaan Malik, whom followers call SSL (supercars.spotter.london).

There are no details of the crash, but, judging by what we can see in the Instagram image below, we're dealing with one of those frustratingly silly driving errors.

Even so, with the nose of the supercar fully meeting the rear end of a truck (ouch!), somebody in an insurance company office certainly didn't take the news too well.

As you'll be able to notice, the British Racing Green-dressed Mac has different wheels in the accident photo, with Instagram gossip talking about the original wheels having been damaged after the supercar started being put through its paces.

Ironically, out of the 25 units of the 666 hp (make that 688 PS, you metric system aficionados) supercar, the one we have here was one of the most followed on the internet.

For example, it's enough to remember this High Sport reached the world wide web even before its owner, or even the dealer, had gotten their hands on the thing - here's the leaked photo of the car, taken inside the McLaren factory.

The car has been caught on camera while the owner was fully dipping into its go-fast potential in Central London and, in case you missed that overly extrovert story, you can find it here.

Here's to hoping the other 24 examples of the MSO HS won't need a special trip back to the mothership.
