The mystery of pink McLaren 570S that’s been sitting outside St. Pancras Hotel in London has been solved.
For starters, there’s now more information suggesting that the car was never actually abandoned, thankfully.
But now there are even more questions.
And one question in particular stands out.

No, this pink McLaren is definitely not abandoned
There’s a pink McLaren 570S that’s been parked outside St Pancras hotel in London for at least five years.
Reports of the car being parked first surfaced during the pandemic, but more details emerged only a few years later.
Apparently, the supercar belongs to the renter (some sources even claim he’s the ‘owner’) of a luxury apartment inside the hotel.
Even though the car was almost always parked outside the hotel, it was clearly not ‘abandoned’.
The McLaren is always clean, the tires are always inflated, and it sometimes gets new mods, and the owner even changed the license plate once.
The car is still often spotted parked outside of the hotel but now, for the first time, it’s finally been seen on the road.
A short clip of the car driving down the highway was shared to Instagram by Great Londoner Meme, and it looks surreal.
We got so used to seeing it parked that it almost feels strange to see it moving.
The truth is, the car was never left or abandoned, it was simply ‘parked’ there, but now this begs another question.
The question people are now asking
People initially thought this McLaren was ‘abandoned’, but it soon became clear that it wasn’t.
It was too clean and well maintained to be abandoned.
But then another question emerged.
Over the past five years, people have shared pictures and videos across different social networks taken at all hours and across all seasons, and the car really does appear to always be parked there.
Who knows, maybe the owner has two identical supercars and drives one while leaving the other parked outside St. Pancras hotel for the plot.
