Watch this $250K McLaren 600LT crash leaving Cars & Coffee
Cars & Coffee is an easy, accessible way to see the automotive treasures of your local car enthusiasts. However, these informal shows are also a showcase of some ego-based bad decisions, like going full send with an extremely valuable McLaren 600LT.
This McLaren 600LT crash at a Connecticut Cars & Coffee is the latest McLaren to crash on social media in 2024
Cars & Coffee has a bad reputation for show-offs crashing their cars as they depart the show. In fact, some spectators wait like vultures hoping to get a glimpse of some muscle car or sports car driver spinning out and slamming into a median or a parked car.
However, and admittedly so, most of the cars you see on social videos covering Cars & Coffee crashes involve affordable, V8-powered sports cars and sedans like the Ford Mustang GT and Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Not this time, though. A recent wreck at a Cars & Coffee in Connecticut claimed a McLaren 600LT instead of a crowd-munching Mustang.
In the video, the 592-horsepower, rear-wheel drive McLaren 600LT breaks its traction on cold, slick streets. The driver fails to contain the slide and clips the front end of the McLaren. In the driver’s defense, the light supercar and its twin-turbocharged 3.8L V8 have the power to break its considerable grip with liberal throttle.
Unfortunately, 2024 hasn’t been a great year for McLarens on social media. For starters, one driver crashed a bespoke “Kiwi Edition” McLaren Senna into a busy Lexus dealership. Tragically, the Senna is such a rare hypercar that the slain McLaren was likely worth around $1.3 million at the time of the wreck.
Months later, content creator and questionable driver Jack Doherty crashed a McLaren 570S. While not as obscenely valuable as the Senna, the 570S that Doherty wrecked in the rain was worth around $200,000. That is, before he plowed the 570S into the guardrail, destroying the brightly-liveried supercar.
Fortunately for the owner of the McLaren 600LT, the damage doesn’t look anywhere near as serious as Doherty’s 570S. Check out the video of the crash below!
