McLaren SLR Disintegrates In Deadly Qatar Accident
[media]http://jalopnik.com/assets/resources/2008/07/Mercedes-McLaren-SLR-Crash.jpg[/media]
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.

Wow thats some serious sh$%.
I'm surprised that those pieces are still there. Those parts would make for interesting collectables for some body. Although thats pretty messed up since the guy died.
I always find these pictures sickening. Someone dies in a car accident, and its posted all over the internet. The burnt Lambo conversations were so bizarre.

My condolences to the family of the deceased. Sad to see a huge loss like this.
I hope everyone holds judgement since there is no information on the crash. I always hate it when people speculate in such a big crash.

Have you ever seen those crazy drift videos they make. There has to be some respect for a car with that type of horsepower.

Sure have, and been even faster on a turbo 'Busa. However, it was in a controlled environment. You drive that fast, especially on those roads, and you can't be surprised when a disaster occurs. Why is it tasteless to acknowledge such?
