10 Most Expensive Abandoned Supercars In Dubai
As gearheads, we all have that one car, don’t we? The one vehicle that, if we won the lottery and money were no object, we’d buy in an instant, and, for many of us, that car is a supercar. The supercar has long been the most exclusive and impressive car class of them all, with vehicles from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren beguiling us with incredible performance statistics, and poster-friendly good looks. Unfortunately, for many of us, money is a barrier and supercars are out of reach, and that makes it all the more bewildering that some of these incredible vehicles are left abandoned in Dubai.
Dubai is a hotspot for wealth right now, and a complete gearhead’s dream when it comes to the roads. It is the country where you’re most likely to see prestige, exotic, and exclusive cars, and, amazingly, sometimes you’ll see them completely abandoned. Yes, the wealth is at such a level for some that leaving these cars abandoned in the desert, while it may seem completely ludicrous to us, is not all that crazy. We’ve scoured the internet to find 10 of the most expensive dream cars left abandoned in Dubai, and you would not believe how much some of them cost. If you’re interested in a comprehensive list of today’s most impressive street-legal performance cars, check out the best supercars of 2023 and 2024.
Note: Information for this article was researched using online sources such as AccelerationTimes and Hagerty with the aim of finding out some of the most exclusive and expensive supercars abandoned in Dubai.
10. 2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
Current Value – $140,000
Performance:
| 0-60 mph (seconds) | 5.6 |
| Top Speed (mph) | 137 |
| Curb Weight (lbs) | 5,554 |
| Horsepower (hp) | 416 |
| Torque (lb-ft) | 450 |
| Layout | Front-engine, All-wheel-drive |
While it may be a reasonably rare and exclusive vehicle in the U.S., the streets of Dubai are lined with Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons, and, okay, so it’s not strictly a supercar, but the G63 sits in a league all of its own, and a number of these super-luxurious vehicles have been found abandoned there. The G-Class is the original luxury SUV and its sumptuous interior is loaded up with all the finest materials and latest technologies. It also packs a punch. The 2021 model developed 416 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque — great numbers for such a large vehicle.
Pricing
While it may be the least expensive vehicle on our list, the 2021 G-Class is certainly not a car we would want to abandon in Dubai. You can get a second-hand model on the used market for around $140,000. A serious cost for a serious car.
9. 2020 Porsche 911 GT3
Current Value – $200,000
Performance:
| 0-60 mph (seconds) | 3.2 |
| Top Speed (mph) | 198 |
| Curb Weight (lbs) | 3,153 |
| Horsepower (hp) | 502 |
| Torque (lb-ft) | 346 |
| Layout | Rear-engine, Rear-wheel-drive |
The GT3 has long been one of the finest and most exclusive Porsche 911 trim models that money can buy, which makes it all the more incredible that a couple of them have been identified as some of Dubai’s abandoned car population. A true supercar-level 911, the 2020 GT3 was capable of 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, and a top speed of 198 mph, enough to convince any Porsche hater of its prowess. All of this performance came from Porsche’s fantastic naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine. The car was also equipped with a vast quantity of high-performance parts to ensure its ability on the track.
Pricing
Porsche always offers a wide range of 911s, from the base level Carrera, the cheapest of the lot, which you can get for just under $100,000 at the moment, all the way up to the GT3 model, which costs around $300,000 on the used market.
8. 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Current Value – $220,000
Performance:
| 0-60 mph (seconds) | 3.7 |

| Curb Weight (lbs) | 3,571 |
| Horsepower (hp) | 583 |
| Torque (lb-ft) | 479 |
| Layout | Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive |
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was a nostalgic throwback to the manufacturer’s incredible past, but the car was far more than just a tribute act, and it has developed a legendary status all of its own, becoming one of the coolest supercars of modern times. Its sleek and muscular look was sprinkled with design language from incredible cars from Mercedes’ past, including, of course, the iconic gullwing doors. It wasn’t all looks and no substance, though. The car was equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 giving it 583 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, enough to take it from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, and up to a top speed of 197 mph.
Pricing
Mercedes-Benz decided to discontinue the SLS AMG back in 2015 after a four-year production run, so if you’re looking to get one, the most recent model year came out in 2015. Prices are high, despite it being an 8-year-old car at this point, and you should expect to pay around $220,000.
7. 2021 Bentley Continental GT
Current Value – $220,000
Performance:
| 0-60 mph (seconds) | 3.6 |
| Top Speed (mph) | 207 |

| Horsepower (hp) | 626 |
| Torque (lb-ft) | 664 |
| Layout | Front-engine, All-wheel-drive |
The Bentley badge has always signified exclusivity, and the Continental GT has become one of their premier nameplates and, perhaps, the ultimate luxury supercar. A favorite of sports players and the wealthiest in society across the world, the Continental GT’s design echoes Bentley’s past, with its large front grille and dual circular headlights. Under the hood, The Continental GT is equipped with a ludicrous 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 626 hp, and a spectacular 664 lb-ft of torque. This power is enough to propel the near-5,000 lbs car to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 207 mph.
Pricing
There have been multiple reports of Bentley Continental GTs being abandoned in Dubai, which is insane when you consider the price of them. You can get a second-hand 2021 model for around $220,000 in the U.S. right now.
6. 2020 Lamborghini Aventador

| Curb Weight (lbs) | 4,095 |
| Horsepower (hp) | 770 |
| Torque (lb-ft) | 507 |
| Layout | Front-engine, All-wheel-drive |
The number of abandoned supercars in Dubai boggles the mind, and the Aventador is one of the most expensive to have been spotted in exactly that position. A true supercar in every sense of the term, the Aventador had the poster-friendly look you’d expect with its aggressive lines and purposeful stance. It also had the performance statistics you’d expect, too, with an incredible 770 hp, 507 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of just 2.7 seconds. The Aventador era has ended, but we’ll sure miss it.
Pricing
The Aventador also comes at the cost you’d expect of a true supercar. One of the most advanced and exclusive cars in the world, you should expect to pay around $250,000 for a 2020 model.

| Curb Weight (lbs) | 5,644 |
| Horsepower (hp) | 563 |
| Torque (lb-ft) | 664 |
| Layout | Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive |
It’s less of a driver’s car and more of a car to be driven in, but regardless of that, the Phantom is an incredibly expensive and exclusive vehicle and one that has, incredibly been found abandoned in Dubai. The Phantom is the ultimate luxury car, with a whisper-quiet engine, an interior lavished with luxury features and the most high-quality materials, and effortless power at any speed. The Phantom is powered by a glorious V12 engine putting out 563 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, and while all-out speed is never the aim, it is still capable of going from 0-60 mph in just 5.1 seconds.
Pricing
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a car reserved for those with the very biggest budgets. Even second-hand, the 2019 Phantom has kept its value very well and will cost you around $350,000 for a good one.

| Torque (lb-ft) | 922 |
| Layout | Mid-engine, All-wheel-drive |
The Bugatti Veyron broke all of the rules when it came out in 2005, showcasing speed and power never before seen in a production vehicle, and it became the ultimate symbol of opulence during its production run. The Veyron was all about its incredible powerplant, a spectacular 8.0-litre, quad-turbocharged, W16-cylinder affair with 1,001 hp and 922 lb-ft of torque. This was enough to propel the vehicle to a record-breaking top speed of 267 mph, with a 0-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds.
Pricing
The Bugatti Veyron is one of those cars that will forever be etched in history for its record-breaking capabilities and the way it moved the automotive industry along almost single-handedly. As such, prices are very high indeed, and you shouldn’t expect to pay less than $1,000,000 to own one.
3. 2015 McLaren P1
Current Value – $1,350,000

| Torque (lb-ft) | 722 |
| Layout | Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive |
McLaren has a storied history of creating some of the most exclusive and expensive hypercars of all time, and the P1, first released in 2013, is the epitome of their road-going race car ethos. Unveiled as a concept car at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the P1 retained much of its concept promise when it went into production in 2013. A hybrid, the car combined a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an electric motor giving it a staggering full power rating of 903 hp, a top speed of 217 mph, and a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds.
Pricing
It’s hard to believe that someone could abandon one of these limited-production models for its historic performance, let alone its value. On the second-hand market, you should expect to be paying around $1,350,000 for a good P1.

| Torque (lb-ft) | 553 |
| Layout | Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive |
Now we’re getting into the really big numbers and the really rare vehicles. The One-77 is one of Aston Martin’s most sought-after cars of all time, making it truly incredible that at least one has been spotted abandoned in Dubai. As its name suggests, the One-77 was limited to only 77 models, and it was only produced for one year. Powered by a 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, the One-77 packs 750 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, giving it a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and an eventual top speed of a staggering 220 mph.

When the Ferrari Enzo was released in 2002, the automotive world stopped and took note, and this special car still stands up to the test of time over 20 years later. An exclusive vehicle limited to around 400 units overall during its two-year production run, the Enzo lived up to its name, taken from the man behind the entire company. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine, the Enzo put out 651 hp, could go from 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, and had a top speed of 218 mph. All of this from a car released in 2002.
