A £1.5million Pagani Zonda supercar was smashed to bits after it crashed into a road barrier in Sussex on Saturday.
The Italian car, which can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in around three seconds, is believed to have been driving in convoy with other supercars along the A27 when the driver lost control at 7.42am in wet conditions.
Shocking images released by Sussex police show the vehicle with its entire front end torn away and the back smashed up as it sits in the middle of the dual carriageway.
