Mystery as three supercars worth £1.8m found gathering dust in abandoned dealership… including ultra-rare Porsche
A PETROLHEAD has discovered an abandoned supercar dealership with three forgotten motors inside – including an incredibly rare Porsche model.
YouTuber Gordon Cheng, who boasts 848,000 subscribers for his channel called Effspot, was left stunned as he visited the disused showroom that’s clearly been left untouched for quite some time.
In the video, Gordon visits a building at an “undisclosed location” in China that has fallen into disrepair.
He notes that the large showroom is filled with junk, including discarded bicycles piled up in a corner, while its posters and signs – including a large Ferrari sign – have begun to fade.
But there’s even concerning examples of the building beginning to decay, with sections of the wall seemingly on the verge of collapsing and even a part of the ceiling “caving in”.
While filming from the outside of the large complex through the showroom window, Gordon is immediately met with the sight of a gorgeous red Porsche Carrera GT that, other than a layer of dust on the bonnet, is in perfect showroom condition.
The Carrera GT, built by the German brand between 2006 and 2008, is one of the rarest modern sports cars in Porsche’s range – with just over 1,200 models produced in that two-year period.
The impressive motor, which can hit a top speed of 205 mph and boasts a listed price of around £1,200,000, comes with matching red wheels and yellow brake calipers – which Gordon claims is a “factory” add-on.
Further to the left on the Porsche is a Ferrari 575 Superamerica, a motor that sells for around £400,000 and can hit a top speed of 201 mph.
It appears that the Ferrari is in the most danger of sustaining damage inside the building, as a section of the roof just overhead seems to be worryingly close to falling on top of it.
Further away, on the otherside of the showroom, is a bright yellow Corvette Z06 – a motor that boasts a £80,000 price tag.
Much like the other two cars, the Corvette is in top condition – other than all four of its tyres blown and unusable.
Combined, the three supercars are worth roughly £1.8m.
In the small section of video, it appears that the three cars are the only ones left inside the showroom, with no clear signs of there being any others.
In the video, Gordan said: “We have a few theories as to what’s going on here, but there’s no definitive story, nobody really seems to know what’s happening other than there’s these three cars that have been abandoned here.”
He later added: “Obviously something happened at this particular dealership, something went terribly wrong.
“It’s been left to rot and abandoned for the past 10 years.”
He speculates that the dealership suffered “some sort of debt” and that everything has been left “in limbo.”
This comes just days after another YouTuber discovered an abandoned car dealership in France – filled with forgotten Peugeots.
The adventurer, who goes by the name The Bearded Explorer (TBE), took his YouTube fans on a tour of the creepy site.
Old motors were littered around the property, with some rusting away in the open air.
Elsewhere, a unique Range Rover limousine – formerly used by boxing legend Mike Tyson – is back on the market at a heavily reduced price.
