Updates on Accident Incidents
A recently surfaced video on social media depicts a collision between a motorbike and a McLaren supercar. The driver of the supercar remains unidentified. Although the location of this accident is unknown, the video has garnered thousands of comments on various social media platforms.
The video footage from the dashboard camera of a car driving alongside the McLaren supercar reveals that the accident occurred at 5:35 PM on November 19, 2023.
As the traffic light turned green, the luxury supercar rapidly accelerated through the intersection. However, as it reached the middle of the junction, it was unexpectedly struck by a motorbike driven by a young man of indeterminate background, approaching from the right direction, crashing directly 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 concludes at this point.
Assigning Fault in this Scenario
Based on the video, it is challenging to determine whether the young man on the motorbike ran a red light. However, the McLaren supercar was driving in the correct lane, following the traffic signal. At that moment, the signal had turned green.
If the young man on the motorbike indeed ran a red light, he would undoubtedly bear full responsibility for compensating the owner of the McLaren supercar.
Potential Damages to the McLaren Supercar
In addition to the collision video, there are no clear images indicating the extent of damage sustained by the McLaren supercar, making it difficult to estimate the cost of repairs.
Nevertheless, if the motorbike collided with the wheel or the side of the car where the headlights are located, resulting in severe damage to these parts, it is highly likely that the repair and replacement costs could amount to billions of Vietnamese Dong.
Furthermore, netizens also speculate that if the supercar had not been struck, the motorbike might have collided with another vehicle. Given the high speed involved, it is difficult to predict the potential outcome. Hence, it is crucial for all road users to strictly adhere to traffic regulations and drive cautiously.
Identifying the Model and Cost of the Hit McLaren Supercar
Based on the video footage, it is evident that the impacted McLaren supercar is the 720S model.
The McLaren 720S has already been discontinued, and there are over six 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 boasts a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers 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, enabling the McLaren 720S to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 341 km/h.
