The two people in the black car who died were Cristobal Flores Espino, 29, and Robert Leroy Rocha, 31.

It is unclear what caused the initial collision between the Toyota and the McLaren, which appears to be a 570S Coupé model and can reach speeds of more than 200 mph. The scene of the collision is about 10 miles north of Downtown Dallas. 

Video and images from the harrowing scene showed the McLaren extraordinarily split in half. The mangled front part of the car is wrapped around the tree while the back half is on the road about 30 feet away.

The Toyota also appeared to hit a tree with its hood also bashed in. 

Police and investigators were at the scene collecting evidence. They say the investigation is ongoing. 

Some used models are for sale for more than $170,000 on CarGurus.com.
