Dozens of rare hypercars were located concentrated in a fenced area near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), causing questions about their origin, owner, and final destination.
The total value of the collection is estimated to be up to $100 million, i.e. up to 95 million euros, which makes it one of the most expensive hypercars concentrations ever recorded outside an official report or auction.
The images show cars covered with thin protective covers, parked next to each other behind barbed wire, without any indication that it is an exhibition or private museum. The sight seems almost unreal, as models that rarely meet even in the larger hypercar events are concentrated in the same space.
Among the cars identified are some of the most expensive and difficult models on the planet:
- McLaren Speedtail
- McLaren Sabre
- Ferrari LaFerrari
- Bugatti Chiron
- Lamborghini Centrenario
- Porsche 918 Spyder
- Pagani Huayra BC
- Aston Martin One-77
- Ford GT
- Porsche 911 Gunther Werks
- Two Koenigsegg Regera
- A Koenigsegg Agera RS
Only the first series of cars – McLaren Speedtail, Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren Sabre – is estimated to exceed $8 million. Overall, each vehicle of the collection is valued at seven digits, while several are produced in minimum copies worldwide.
The big question: Who left them there?
Since the first images were published, many theories have developed. The first mentioned a private collector who had problems with customs procedures or the transport of vehicles.
Others argued that cars had been committed due to legal or economic controversy, while estimates that they were company assets that went bankrupt before their transfer was completed.
The most likely explanation
Evidence then appeared that gave a more realistic dimension to the case. Hypercars reportedly may have been part of a shipment of 17 extremely rare cars destined for major exposure to Macau in 2023. The list of models carried is almost completely identical to the vehicles found in LAX.
If this scenario applies, then it is not a collection of a single owner, but of cars of different collectors that were temporarily assembled in a logistics space before being flown. However, to date there has been no official confirmation by either the American authorities or some transport company, leaving the mystery to remain alive.
Because such transfers require absolute accuracy
The transfer of hypercars of this category is one of the most demanding processes in the motor world. Vehicles are usually transported in specially closed containers or air pallets, insured for hundreds of millions of euros and accompanied by specialised customs control procedures.
Even a few days' stay in an open-air area can create concerns for owners, as these are models that often exist in less than 100 copies worldwide and whose value is constantly increasing.
The only sure thing is that we will hardly ever see again concentrated in the same area so rarely and expensive cars, whose total value is close to EUR 100 million, without being an international exhibition or auction. Until what really happened is revealed, the LAX case will continue to be one of the biggest mysteries in hypercars history.
