An insurance company faces a hefty bill after the £250,000 McLaren supercar was left a twisted wreck in London's Eaton Square

A £250,000 McLaren supercar was left almost destroyed after a crash with a Saab.
The McLaren 650S Spider, which is capable of more than 200mph, was involved in a collision on Eaton Square, one of London's most expensive roads.

It is thought the brand-new supercar, which was registered in Monaco, was turning right at traffic lights when it was hit by the Saab.

Both cars started leaking oil with police officers covering the area in sand. No one was injured in the crash, which happened at around 8pm on Saturday night.

Launched last year, the McLaren 650S Spider is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged engine developing around 640bhp.

This gives the convertible, which is built in Woking, a 0-62mph time of less than three seconds and a top speed of 204mph.

An entry-level 650S Spider costs £215,000, with the extras on this model likely to push the price towards £250,000.
