Hurricane Ian has torn its way through Florida over the past week, and with the Sunshine State being a haven for the rich and famous, there was always the chance that some supercars would get caught up in the Category 4 storm’s carnage.

If you’re a McLaren fan, turn away now, because this P1 was submerged with seawater caused by the hurricane just one week after the owner bought it. Ouch.

To make matters even worse, the car’s owner, Ernie, also lost a Rolls-Royce Phantom to the flooding, and both vehicles were flooded with seawater before being dragged out of the garage and onto the streets.

The McLaren P1 in question is (or potentially was) number 348 of just 375 units built.

This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve seen multi-million dollar car collections ruined by flooding in Florida. Why don’t owners park their expensive hypercars in a multi-story car park before the floods arrive?
