Intending to review a Lamborghini Diablo that turned out to be a fake and leaking fluids – this US-based content creator stumbled upon a hidden parking garage in Beverly Hills – and it was an abandoned supercar cemetery
The veritable goldmine of rare and expensive supercars included multiple McLarens, a Bugatti Veyron, a Porsche Carrera GT, and a 300 SL Gullwing Mercedes.
Call it fate or just dumb luck – it was an incredible find for the YouTuber.

The abandoned supercar cemetery
Among the cars tucked safely out of site and discovered by Parker Nirenstein of Vehicle Virgins, were highly rare models like the McLaren Senna, McLaren Sabre, and others.
Most of the abandoned supercars boasted unique and stunning specifications, while others appeared to have been somewhat neglected.
It’s unclear why these high-end vehicles were stored here, but it’s possible that they were intended to go to Monterey Car Week before being forgotten about.
In similar news, different city, this mysterious BMW M3 CSL was abandoned in London before being moved after nearly 20 years.
Meanwhile, this explorer found an abandoned Ferrari F1 car on a derelict farm.
The Lamborghini Diablo
The car that was the OG and intended subject of the video is also worthy of a shout-out.
The fake Diablo VT, with a rather tongue-in-cheek license plate referencing its lack of authenticity, actually cost’ a lot of money’ to make, according to the YouTuber.
The number plate contains the word ‘FAUX’ by the way – work that one out for yourselves.
The interior features OEM Lambo parts, with a real Diablo wheel, components on the dash and some replica seats.
Unfortunately, the naturally aspirated V12 you’d usually find in a genuine Lamborghini Diablo is missing.
However, the supercharged 3800SC engine taken from a Buick isn’t half bad with 350hp.
It also boasts the transmission from a Porsche via a gated manual shifter.
It’s certainly a special car, with one man spending two decades tracking down his dad’s old Lamborghini Diablo Jota.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
