Hurricane Ian hit Florida in full force this Wednesday (28) and is expected to cause damages in the order of tens of billions of dollars. An example of the P1, McLaren's hybrid supercar, experienced a sample of its power at close range being dragged from the garage to the street.
The image shared by the owner of the vehicle, bought for US$ 1,8 million (about R$ 9,7 million at current exchange rates), shows that sea water even covered the wheels and probably also managed to get into the engine. installed at the rear.
A curious fact is that Ernie (or lambo9286 on Instagram) received P1 number 348 out of 375 units produced a week ago.

In other entries of the post, he also reveals that he lost another not cheap car, a Rolls-Royce Ghost. To get an idea, the 2022 model is valued at more than R$ 6,5 million in Brazil.
An image posted on Reddit shows the two cars nearly submerged moments before being swept away by the water. The good news is that, in addition to insurance, McLaren has already confirmed that it is willing to supply the necessary parts to repair the vehicle.
