Dubai's abandoned Supercars

Among them a Ferrari F40, an Enzo and a Jag XJ220...


Abandoned luxury cars left at airports across the United Arab Emirates may not entirely be the fault of expats escaping tough debt laws.

Recent reports have highlighted high-end sports cars gathering dust at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports from panicked expats fleeing the country to avoid prison sentences for money owed.

Images of a  Ferrari Enzo, worth more than £1 million, allegedly abandoned in Dubai by a British expat have been circulated widely. He was believed to have defaulted on a loan for the supercar and fled the city to escape possible imprisonment.

Under Sharia law which is observed across the Middle East, non-payment of debt is a criminal offence. As the UAE has no bankruptcy laws, there is no protection for those slipping into debt, even accidentally.

There have been cases of foreigners being prevented from leaving the Emirates after being blacklisted for simply missing a credit card payment or bouncing a cheque.


More Abandoned Exotics...

Video: Dubai's Police Supercars Fleet...

Where do we sign up to work for the Dubai's Police...?

In the clip, we see a 426hp Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe, a 660hp V12-powered Ferrari FF and the 350km/h (218mph) Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, but that's not the entire fleet, as according to GulfNews, the dream-team of Dubai's cop cars also includes an Aston Martin One-77 (yes, one of 77 made!), a Bentley and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG!

Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Deputy Chief of Dubai Police, told the news site that the department upgraded their fleet of sports and super cars after the greatly positive response from the worldwide public when the first Lamborghinis hit the road in police-livery.

“Those cars will be used for road security in different areas of Dubai,” he said, adding that they will be dispatched to tourists arrears and won't be chasing thieves, as “Dubai is a safe oasis for residents and tourists and we want each and every one to enjoy our city.”
