SLR McLaren (C199) Mclaren SLR disintegrates in deadly Qatar Accident

[Cashmere]

Details are sketchy, but sometime during the morning of July 15th, a 22-year-old male in a Mercedes McLaren SLR lost control of the vehicle and died in the resulting catastrophic crash. The massive debris field scattered across the Qatari desert suggests the car was traveling at very high speed, rendering any amount of carbon-fiber protection useless.
(Also, we'd like to point out while we do not believe SLR Guy was to blame for the destruction of this particular SLR, without more information we're unable to further speculate. — Ed.)

If you are going to have a car crash, the SLR is probably the best choice with F1 like carbon fibre monocoque and carbon fibre shock absorbing cones at the front. However nothing can save you if you are going at insane speed like that. The rotation and deceleration alone will make you vomit out your internal organs.

^Exactly,insane speed coupled with reckless driving equals death for sure.

RIP for both the kid and SLR.
