It was one of only 375 models that were made.
But the owner of this 2015 McLaren P1 - a seven-speed that goes from 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds - has all-but wrecked his new $1.15 million supercar and is lucky to be alive after a nasty crash in Dallas on Wednesday morning - less than 24 hours after buying the twin-turbo V8.
The single-car crash occurred about 7.41am and troopers were called to the scene.
The 27-year-old appears to have lost control of the vehicle after hitting a wet spot and smashed into the guardrail, investigators told WFAA-TV.

The driver and the 24-year-old passenger were injured in the crash.
They were both transported to Parkland Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
It is unclear whether the driver will face charges.
