Supercars taking on muscle cars is a battle that dates back several decades. In fact, it’s the type of racing that isn’t limited to just one continent or region. That’s evident after photos popped up of a serious crash involving a Ford Mustang and a McLaren 650S that appears to have taken place in Puerto Rico.
While full details are still unclear, the Puerto Rico Police (PPR) released images of the aftermath, and early reports suggest street racing may have played a role.

The pictures, which started circulating online over the weekend, show an orange McLaren with significant rear-end and driver’s side damage. Debris is scattered across the roadway, while fluid stains are visible on the pavement leading to the six-figure vehicle.
In a separate aerial shot, we can see a yellow Ford Mustang on the curb nearby. It’s sitting on its driver’s side near some grass.
The Ford has damage to both bumpers, the hazard lights are on, and in a short video, we see a little more of the aftermath. Several individuals work together to try to flip the pony car back onto its tires, but it’s unclear if they ever managed to pull it off.
While it’s tough to say without local verification or better images, the Ford appears to be a 2015–2017 Ford Mustang GT, identifiable by its quad exhaust setup and S550-generation rear styling.
The McLaren seems to be a 570S, , based on the rear fascia and signature taillights. If correct, it rolled out of the factory in Woking with 562 hp (570 PS) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. Clearly, that’s more than enough power to get into trouble. Put these two cars together and they boast over 1,000 horsepower combined.
While there are no public details just yet on exactly how the cars came to rest in this manner, many who’ve shared the images and video online have pointed to street racing as the likely cause. That sort of activity has long been an issue in Puerto Rico. These photos provide a stark reminder of just how fast things can go sideways, whether racing was involved or not.
