Police say seatbelts saved the lives of two people who crashed their $300,000 supercar in the Nevada desert, but the vehicle’s engineers deserve a fair share of the credit.
The Nevada Highway Patrol found the totaled McLaren 720 about 70 yards off a road near Lake Mead last week, with damage suggesting that it had rolled at least once as it just missed falling down a ravine.
The 710 horsepower coupé is one of the quickest cars in the world, and has a top speed of 212 mph. It features a carbon fiber passenger cell, similar to a racecar’s, that’s designed to be both lightweight and extremely strong.

If they had a real Supercar they would have flown out of danger.

From long experience, that is a JATO malfunction. Kids, don’t try this at home.

It’s a reference to the TV show “Breaking Bad”. It features a middle class meth dealer who strikes it big selling drugs in the Arizona desert and has a taste for fancy sports cars.
