Post Ouch, MP4-12C Bites the dust near headquarters in Woking, UK



This looks to me like a factory test car as seen by the blue tape on the front end and plastic on the interior, or one heading to a dealer but you would think that would be on a flat bed truck. The blog Carscoop posted this "...looks like the car in question may have been a brand-new example getting ready for delivery given the blue tape and white plastic covers on the seats, as well as the fact that the accident took place near the brand's headquarters in Woking, UK.

The picture was posted on the UK ClioSport forums by a member that claims the McLaren MP4-12C crashed into one of his friend's car before coming to a halt in front of a fence on the side of the road."

No - the McLaren demonstrator for the Hamburg, Germany dealership was crashed a few weeks back.

Zero damage to the cabin, or even the windshield. That's a strong chassis.
