Mystery over $50M hypercar collection stashed at LAX is still unsolved with incredibly rare cars just sitting around untouched

A while back, we uncovered a massive collection of hypercars worth between $50 million and $100 million that had been sitting at LAX in Los Angeles for a while.

First discovered a few years ago, the collection remained untouched for weeks.

All the cars were new, but leaving cars unattended ruins them.

However, for a very good reason, we have reason to believe the situation has already changed.

How these collection of hypercars ended up at LAX in Los Angeles

The effspot YouTube channel spotted the mysterious collection in September 2023 after being tipped about it.

Most of the cars, which were all wrapped in plastic to protect them from any cosmetic damage, were easily recognizable.

Among others, we spotted a McLaren Speedtail, a Ferrari LaFerrari, a Porsche 918 Spyder, and at least three Koenigsegg, as we can see two Regeras and an Agera RS among the cars.

No one knows why they were here, and even though the video was first published in September 2023, there’s no way of knowing how long they’d already been sitting over there when they were discovered.

However, there are three scenarios we can think of, including a theory we formulated.

There are two likely scenarios

With our Sherlock Holmes hat on, we can think of at least two scenarios.

One of the most likely scenarios involves a private individual who, for whatever reason, relocated to Los Angeles (or somewhere else in California) but couldn’t clear customs.

Maybe there was something wrong with the paperwork, or maybe there was a legal problem elsewhere.

Or maybe the owner died and the cars are now stuck in a bureaucratic limbo.

The second scenario is slightly different.

Occasionally, cars set off from point A when the company that owns them is still solvent, only to arrive at point B after the company has already gone bust.

This happens from time to time.

A while back, we learned about a small collection of new Tesla Roadsters that were ordered by a company that had already gone bust by the time they arrived at their destination.

The third theory and potentially the final explanation

Shortly after the video went live, we found out more information about a very similar collection of hypercars being shipped and moved around by a logistics company.

Based on their data, the collection was not actually a collection.

As in, these cars belong to a few different collectors.

A total of 17 hypercars were loaded onto one jet destined for the 2023 Hypercar Exhibition in Macau.

And the list of hypercars included matched the mystery collection at LAX almost exactly.

With a bit of luck, all of these hypercars are safe and sound as we speak.
