Ferrari Enzo abandoned in Dubai


We can predict with some authority that the above picture has forced you into a blubbering, moaning, snivelling wreck. It is a picture of a Ferrari Enzo, left to rot in the stifling desert heat of Dubai.

This is sad. So much more sad because apparently, said desert is actually a police impound lot. This Ferrari Enzo has been left to rot in a police impound lot. This is sad.

No more details are available, and we can only hope the Enzo hasn't been left for too long. But as you can see, it's a bit sandy. And did we mention it's quite hot? Cars don't really like sand and heat, much.

If you've spotted any abandoned supercars - or indeed know anything more about this Enzo - send in your pics to editor@topgear.com. We will cry, and then share our misery with you, so that you may cry.

Now go and cry.

That is sad. If the owner had so much money to buy one, at least it should have enough to get it out from the pound.

So, who wants to buy an Enzo off the Dubai government?

Exactly what I was thinking, a government auction should occur soon. What's the Blue Book value on a sandblasted Ferrari hypercar, anyone?
 
Bah, who cares. If it was say an F40 or a 308/328 or a 355--you know something beautiful--I'd care. :D 👍

Cars are abandoned all the time in Dubai. They have no bankruptsy laws. I have a friend who runs a company in Dubai. It's great to work there because there are no taxes, but If you lose your job, your employer must notify the government within like a day or two. If you owe any money, they freeze your bank account within a couple of days and divide the money among your creditors. You are then broke and will soon be arrested. Your penalty is go to jail until your debts are paid. You earn $100 per day in jail to pay your debts. If you owed $5,000 in credit card debt, that's 50 days in jail. If you owned a business that started to have troubles in the current economic crash, you could owe quite a large amount. Someone driving an Enzo is probably in the business owner category. $250,000 of debt is almost 7 years in prison. I heard about people losing their job, going directly to the bank to get money and straight to the airport to get out before the government knows. I spent a couple of weeks there and my coworkers pointed out dozens of abandoned cars.

Yes, this is in Dubai. I had learned of this a few months ago and remembered it when viewing this thread. When I found the picture people were saying it's a replica. :rolleyes: They're just in doubt that great Ferraris are left to waste. :( Unless you can prove it's a replica.
 
Motor City Hami has it right.

The financial crisis seems to have seriously affected the owner of a Dubai Ferrari Enzo, who preferred to abandon the car instead of spending any more money on it.

The financial crisis caused many sad stories world wide. Whether we talk about desperate ad sales of some goods, ads in which some citizens were searching for a job or asking for help, a series of shocking events. This time, the action takes place in Dubai, the land of opulence. Thousands of vehicles were abandoned in Dubai. Some of these vehicles is also a Ferrari Enzo. The model was discovered on a sand field, where authorities are now storing the vehicles they lift from the streets of Dubai.

The vehicles are only lifted by the authorities 15 days after a warning has been glued on the side window, a note that tells the driver that risks paying a fine if the vehicle is not moved. Not being able to pay car payments, some owners abandoned their car with the keys in the ignition and the lease contract on the passenger seat. This was not the case of the Ferrari Enzo, who's owner decided to abandon it without a "message".

The F40 is a replica, compare the position of th erear wheel to the C-Pillar to the real deal:

That article is weird. He's comparing a bad replica of an F40 to an even worse 'replica' of an F40.

That second "F40 replica" in that article, has got to be one the worst looking cars I've ever seen. :yuck:
 
Thats something else then a nasty Citroën Berlingo from the animal protection with the words 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, and a drawing of a 🤬.
 
There are 100's of abandoned exotics in those areas.. Some with the keys even left in the ignition..

I've known about the case on this Enzo for a while, the owners are usually pressured in leaving the country and can't take the cars they purchased when they were visiting, or just leaving due to other problems, such as deportation.
 
That Mondial might make a good project car. It wouldn't be hard to improve on its performance anyway and I'm sure it would practically be a steal.
