Crashed $1.3 million McLaren Senna from viral video turns up at insurance auction

The one-of-a-kind "Kiwi Edition" McLaren Senna, a car designed to go flat out on the world's fastest racetracks, has been spotted at an insurance auction. Its driver decided to show off in the middle of Ventura Boulevard in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, California, and crashed it into a car dealership.

The car showed up Monday afternoon at what Reddit users quickly identified as the North Hollywood lot for Insurance Auto Auctions. That's not far from where the car crashed into the side of Lexus of Woodland Hills on April 28.

Any doubts about the car's location were quickly dispelled when a user pulled up its online auction page. "Not ready for sale," the listing states rather starkly.

The YouTuber reportedly behind the wheel, Edmond Barseghian, who goes by Mondi, posted about picking up the car just days before the wreck.

Photos dated May 6 show extensive damage to the Senna, with impacts to both the front and side of the car. However, it's unclear how much work would be needed to make the car roadworthy. The condition of its carbon fiber body is hard to determine, especially when we're talking about a car that's so valuable.

Of course, anything can go wrong with a high performance car. This is to be expected, especially with a high-horsepower, carbon-fiber supercar like this McLaren. That's why you should do things like this on the track, not in traffic.
