The video footage from the dashboard camera of a car driving alongside the McLaren supercar shows that the accident occurred at 5:35 PM on November 19, 2023.

At that moment, when the traffic light turned green, the expensive supercar quickly accelerated through the intersection. However, as it reached the middle of the junction, it was suddenly hit by a motorbike driven by a young man of unknown background, coming from the right direction, crashing straight into the side of the car.

The impact caused the young man on the motorbike to fall to the ground, but he was able to stand up afterwards. The video ends here.

Who is at fault in this situation?

Based on this video, it is difficult to determine whether the young man on the motorbike ran a red light or not. However, the McLaren supercar was being driven in the correct lane, following the traffic signal. At that moment, the signal had turned green.

If the young man on the motorbike ran a red light, he would clearly bear full responsibility for compensating the owner of the McLaren supercar.

Damages to the McLaren supercar could amount to billions of Vietnamese Dong if this part is damaged

In addition to the video footage of the collision, there are no clear images showing the extent of damage to the McLaren supercar, making it difficult to estimate the cost of repairing the car.

However, in this situation, if the motorbike hit the wheel or the side of the car, where the headlights are located, and these parts are severely damaged, it is very likely that the repair and replacement costs could amount to billions of Vietnamese Dong.

Furthermore, netizens also believe that if the supercar had not been hit, the motorbike may have collided with another vehicle. With such high speed, it is difficult to predict what would have happened. Therefore, when participating in traffic, everyone should strictly follow the rules and drive with caution.

The McLaren 720S has already been discontinued, and there are over 6 Coupe versions of this model in the country. Some of these cars are being resold for prices ranging from 8 billion to 18 billion Vietnamese Dong, depending on the license plate.

The McLaren 720S features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces a maximum power of 710 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and a peak torque of 770 Nm at 5,500 rpm.

This powertrain is combined with a 7-speed SSG dual-clutch transmission, allowing the McLaren 720S to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 341 km/h.
