Supercars draw a lot of attention for their rumble and different style. For some people, this is not enough and they need to get attention in other ways. A driver aboard a McLaren Senna was involved in an accident in Los Angeles, in the United States, after making a maneuver in the middle of the street with the British supercar.
The video was initially posted on Reddit and was filmed on Monday morning. The footage shows the McLaren driving on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles before encountering a group of people filming the car passing by.
Upon seeing the cameras, the driver decides to put on a show for those present and tries to perform a little reset in the middle of the highway. The maneuver even works, however, as he continues on his way, the driver loses control of the car and hits a Lexus dealership.
From the sound, it is possible to interpret that the driver continued to accelerate in a straight line, however, the tires could not hold all the traction, perhaps because they were too hot due to the maneuver performed. Driver has a history of accidents
According to Reddit users, the driver of the car was Edmond Barseghian, an automotive Youtuber who already has a history of accidents. According to users of the social network, “Mondi” was responsible for giving PT (Total Loss) in a Hummer EV after driving only 28 km, as well as crashing a Porsche 911 GT3 and a GT3 RS, the latter, in an accident on a race track.
According to the portal Motor1 North American, the youtuber confirmed that he was involved in the accident through Instagram, before depriving the social network. On Reddit, a user posted a screenshot where the youtuber gets in touch asking for the video to be removed from social networks, even offering money for the content to be deleted. According to Barseghian, his insurance company could not find out about the accident.
Since the publication of the video buying the McLaren from the dealership in Miami, the youtuber does not have any updates on his social networks, apart from, of course, Instagram, which has been private since the accident. Unit was unique in the world
In addition to being a supercar worth more than 10 million reais, the crashed unit was a very rare model. Named “Project Kilo II” or “Senna Kiwi“, this unit was originally ordered by a McLaren VIP customer and features exclusive “Oak Green” paint and brown interior, carbon wheels (only prototypes and Bruno Senna’s car have this option), “Kiwi” logo, the original McLaren and exhaust with 24-karat gold protection. In mechanical terms, the Senna Kiwi doesn’t bring much new and has the same twin-turbo V8 with 800 hp and 81 kgfm of torque as the other 499 units of the sports car created in honor of Ayrton Senna.
