There’s an interesting story behind these hidden supercars in Qatar

If you want to spot supercars, then you can’t go far wrong in the capital city of Qatar, Doha.

Exotic and expensive cars are a common sight.

However, while you might expect to see them in showrooms, dealerships, and on the street, there’s a less expected location where you can expect to see Aston Martin and Lamborghini Countach.

Doha’s parking are veritable automotive museums, with Ferraris and other collectible cars gathering dust.

The forgotten supercars

The cars were uncovered by content creator and car enthusiast, effspot, on a trip to Qatar.

Supercars in the peninsular country are commonplace, in fact the team spotted a Lamborghini Urus parked in the street and a Ferrari F12 Superfast shortly after stepping off the plane.

What they didn’t expect, however, was the amount of stunning cars sitting and gathering dust in parking garages.

Many of these cars are rare icons in the automotive world, like the limited edition Aston Martin One-77.

Examples of the V12-powered supercar sit in a car park coming to an estimated cost of around $1.6 million – and they’re completely unprotected from the elements.

He also sees a rare and roofless Aston Martin Speedster.

Only 88 examples were made, boosting its value to $1 million.

Meanwhile, a rare and appreciating Lamborghini Countach LP400 sits in a dealership.

It’s also worth around $1 million.

A C6 Chevy Corvette Z06 might be cheaper, but it still stands out.

There are also endless lines of Ferraris, including an older dark gray Ferrari 599.

Last but not least, a surprisingly modest-looking Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren that could reach speeds in excess of 322km/h (200mph) back in 2003.

Are they still drivable?

While some of the beautiful cars are trickle-charged to keep the batteries in operating condition, others haven’t been driven for a long time.

Some are covered in blankets, most are gathering dust with an alarming lack of security despite some being behind cordons.

Doha isn’t the only spot to feature abandoned supercars.

Parking garages scattered across LA contain supercars that are gathering dust.

On that note, this parking lot in Beverly Hills serves as a cemetery for abandoned supercars.

While this abandoned car wasn’t a supercar, it was transformed into a homemade Lamborghini Huracán.
