A rare McLaren 765LT has been destroyed by fire at a gas station in Pennsylvania.
The incident happened at the 500 block of Dekalb Pike in Upper Gwynedd Township earlier in the week at a Wawa gas station. According to North Penn Now, members of the Upper Gwynedd Fire Department arrived on the scene and found the vehicle on fire while it was parked near a fuel pump.
While authorities were able to quickly extinguish the blaze, they were not able to save the British supercar. As photos show, it was completely destroyed by the blaze and left a molten mess of metal, carbon fiber, and plastic.
Adding insult to injury is the fact that the owner only recently purchased the car and had apparently only driven it 100 miles (160 km). Fortunately, no one was injured in the blaze.

It remains to be seen what triggered the fire. The fact that the blaze started right next to a fuel pump suggests that there could have been some kind of fuel mishap but it’s impossible to say. Whatever the cause, we hope for the sake of the driver that they have an insurance policy that will fully cover the loss of the car.
As a reminder, the McLaren 765LT is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine pumping out a cool 755 hp at 7,500 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque at 5,500 rpm. Prices in the U.S. start at $358,000.
