Winchester: A Ferrari 458 Italia and a McLaren 720S were spotted parked on double yellow lines outside Margaux Lounge. This happened around 1 PM on a Sunday in January, and both cars had parking fines stuck to their windscreens.
The McLaren, a 2019 model, is a real beast. It cost £237,000 new and can zoom from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. With 710 horsepower, it can hit a top speed of 212 mph. Pretty impressive, right?
Then there’s the Ferrari, a 2012 model that originally set its owner back £178,000. It’s not too shabby either, going from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds with 570 horsepower and a top speed of 202 mph.
Interestingly, it’s not clear who was behind the wheel of these flashy cars or why they decided to park illegally. This incident comes on the heels of a local businessman criticizing the councils for their parking management.
He mentioned that the lack of good parking options in Winchester is driving people away from the city center. But honestly, it’s hard to imagine the drivers of these supercars will be complaining about parking anytime soon.
