Rowan Atkinson, known more as Mr Bean in India has suffered a rather costly car crash in the UK. Mr Atkinson a known petrol head and car lover is the owner several cars. He crashed his McLaren F1 super car in to a lamp post near Peterborough. The actor is presently in a hospital and is expected to released today.

Reports from the UK said there was no other car involved in the accident. Mr Atkinson suffered a minor shoulder injury while the front of the McLaren F1 has been smashed. This is not the first time Atkinson was involved in a car crash in his F1. He was involved in a low speed car crash with Rover Metro in 1999, just two years after buying the F1.

The McLaren F1 was during its launch the world's fastest car. With a unique three seater design with just the driver's seat in the front, the F1 could reach a top speed of 320kmpl. Although there have been several new models that have eclipsed the top speed of the F1, this British super remains the fastest naturally aspirated super car in the world.
