First crash

"I was driving on HY-99 Northbound at about 1PM wondering why traffic was so congested. To my surprise I saw 3 Seattle Police cars and 2 DOT trucks behind a wrong way facing Mclaren. It turns out the rear passenger wheel was separated from the car.
As unbelievable as this seems, at about 3:30PM, one of the software techs had it on a test drive and someone from the program came to my work and requested equipment to transport the car with only 3 wheels in their location. He also informed me that a Mclaren technician was dispatched immediately from overseas to tend to the car."

 

Dooooh! It does look very nice in that dark gray color, though!

 

NOOOOO!!! What a shame.

Love Mclaren's response though. Sending a mechanic from oversees is a very classy move by them. I know they did this with the F1, but I had no idea they would do this for a car that is to be produced in large numbers, relatively speaking of course.

 

Think we're gonna have some nice vids soon, from what i see in this teaser.

Here's another picture taken after it was loaded onto the flatbed

 

Why do I see a rear passenger wheel on the car and no damage?

 

Maybe this example is RHD, making the passenger side the other side of the car?
