A BADLY damaged £1.3million McLaren Senna supercar crashed by an idiotic YouTuber while showboating has now gone up for auction.

Edmond Barseghian went viral after he showed off in front of pals before losing control of the flashy vehicle shortly after buying it.

In footage captured of the collision, the supercar’s 789-horsepower motor could be heard revving before it accelerated at a blistering speed and catapulted into a nearby building.

The vehicle was taken away, but now has been put up for sale by IAA auctions.

In new images, the car can be seen severely damaged with most of the front either missing or hanging off.

According to the notice, the key is missing and the inoperable digital dash is showing just one mile on the odometer.

A price is yet to be added to the listing.

Described as an automobile coupe with a 4.0-litre engine, it is said to have an automatic transmission, with a rear wheel drive and eight cylinders.

The car is powered by gasoline and is said to have a green and brown interior and exterior.

Manufactured in the UK, the McLaren Senna model is being sold in North Hollywood, California.

The listing states the primary damage is at the front end.

There is also secondary damage to the left and right side.

The auction date and time will be released soon via the IAA website.

In a clip which recently surfaced online but has since been taken down, the social media influencer could be seen revving the accelerator as he drove up a quiet Los Angeles street.

The 2023 western endurance champion soon attempted to perform a ‘donut’ but it didn’t go to plan.

The car was severely damaged but Edmond, who has more than 314,000 followers on his Instagram account (@edmond_mondi) was relatively unharmed.

He later confirmed that he was behind the wheel of his new Senna when the accident happened.

Barseghian issued an apology on his Instagram account where he said he “went viral for the wrong reasons” and is “only human”.

He added: “This one stings. I loved that car but I will overcome.

“The one thing I’m most upset about is that it happened on a public road.

“Especially considering I had picked it up the night before from Racewerkz with upgraded brakes, suspension, wheels, and slicks.”

The statement concluded: “Feel free to haze me in the comments, I deserve it. I own it, lesson learned.”

This is not the first time Barseghian has pulled a similar stunt as he went viral in early 2023 for totalling his Hummer EV after driving it for just nine miles.

Last month, a 13-year-old boy destroyed a flash Lamborghini in a huge crash after convincing the car’s owner he was old enough to drive.

It comes as a McLaren supercar, apparently owned by a TikTok star, was left totally wrecked on the side of the road after a horror crash.

Terrifying video shows the flash £220,000 motor, thought to belong to social media star HSTikkyTokky, smashed and smoking in Surrey.

While the front is a complete mess, there is also some damage to both sides of the car
