A McLaren 765LT burned to a crisp is a sad sight to watch. The model has recently arrived at a salvage yard, and the owner is selling what is left of it. But is there really anything left? Apparently, there is.
It is hard to tell where this car begins and where it ends. The former supercar/current trash bag arrived at a salvage yard on a trailer, and it was taken from up there with a forklift. The rear axle now sits on top of what used to be the passenger zone. The McLaren is just a big pile of metal and carbon fiber. The greenhouse melted in the fire as well, and so did most of the rubber on the wheels. Gone are the headlights as well, probably also melted by the heat during the blaze.
The video was uploaded on Instagram, and the caption says that this McLaren burned to a crisp is a "source for supercar parts." What parts, you may ask when you take a look at what is left of the supercar. Well, looks can be deceiving. There are exactly 34 items from what used to be a McLaren 765LT for sale up on eBay. The listing starts with the body shell and cockpit, available for $7,500. Who would actually like it that crispy and liquified, we can’t tell for sure.
The engine block is also for sale for $13,500. The listing claims it "turns over with no issue" and that it has only 138 miles (228 kilometers) on it. So now we know that the McLaren that burned was practically brand-new. Not that it matters anymore.
The salvage experts also managed to save the front bumper and that can be purchased for $9,000. Partially made from carbon fiber, it is obvious that it has been through fire, there are signs of the blaze everywhere. The alternator and the lithium-ion battery, plus the front hood are also there. The transmission is also for sale for $2,699, but the listing does not say if it actually works. The wheels can be purchased for $200 each, but we can't help wondering: why would anybody buy them grilled like that?
What happened to this McLarne 765LT? Well, we went through our archives and realized that this has every chance to be the car that burned at a gas station in Upper Gwynedd Township, Pennsylvania, back in April 2021. Firefighters arrived at the scene soon after the 911 call and managed to put out the blaze before it reached the gas pump. Luckily, the owner walked about unharmed before the fire engulfed the supercar.
The McLaren 765LT is powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, preferably not for sale on eBay, which generates 755 horsepower (765 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The model, when not too crispy, of course, runs from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) in just 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205 mph (330 kph). Now, all we can count is the speed from the moment parts of it were uploaded on eBay and when they sell.
Comments on the Instagram post are worth a look at. "I can fix it!" a user jokes, while another one points out that it is a very low mileage car. "A bit of paint and it will be fine!" another one writes.
