This urban explorer lived out every gearhead’s dream as he found a Bugatti and a Maserati hidden from the world.

It is a tale as old as time, with retro cars often being abandoned in favor of a higher-tech daily driver.

But, aside from finding luxury cars amongst nature, other vehicle brands such as Mini were also spotted by eagle-eyed viewers.

The creator shared his discovery with the world, and gearheads online had a lot to say about one of the cars in particular.

This urban explorer may have just hit the jackpot of the century involving a Bugatti

Thanks to the masses of cars having been produced over the decades since the automotive industry began, it won’t surprise you to find out that some have sadly seen better days.

Some older models of cars are often left to collect dust, run into the ground, or even abandoned.

But fear not, as gearheads often take it upon themselves to hunt down and explore sites where cars have been left to fight the elements, which is exactly what this creator did.

Content creator and urban explorer, losthistorie, shared a discovery of what they say included two certain models of luxury vehicles.

“Abandoned Maserati and Bugatti found,” detailed the explorer before the video showed the cars in a less-than-impressive condition, along with other vehicle parts.

Minis were also spotted in the video, with the cars taken over by nature; however, some users online weren’t all that convinced that the Bugatti was actually authentic in the first place.

After watching the abandoned cars being unearthed by the explorer, avid car enthusiasts had lots to say on the matter.

“Why doesn’t anyone grab the awesome car tracks and restore them?? That would be the purest gold mine,” said one user.

“Where is it then? Would love to save one of the treasures,” added another car fan.

“Bugatti looks like a VW-based kit-car. But still, I feel sorry for all these classic cars,” added a third

When it comes to barn finds, Maserati fans can get lucky

It seems that Maserati is a running theme when it comes to uncovering abandoned cars.

In fact, one 1960 Maserati 3500 GT barn find was found in Oregon, but while it looked pristine, the engine was in pieces.

Plus, down in Montana, a barn find revealed 600 hidden classics, including a 1960 Chevy El Camino.
