In the hushed basements of Beverly Hills, between the ghosts of luxury and the echoes of a gilded past, treasures lie hidden from view. Ferrari, LamborghiniMaserati, McLaren, Aston Martin... so many abandoned cars, sometimes covered in dust, forgotten in California's most prestigious parking lots.
The man who decided to lift the veil on this reality is Effspot, a YouTuber known for his urban automotive explorations. In one of his latest videos, shot in the heart of Los Angeles, he shows what few people imagine: supercars costing hundreds of thousands of euros... left to rot.
The video begins like a treasure hunt. Armed with his camera, Effspot plunges into the underground garages of luxury buildings, in search of those cars that time seems to have frozen. Between two dust-covered Bentleys and a series of ghostly Rolls-Royces, he stumbles across an immaculate but obviously neglected Ferrari 458 Spider and Lamborghini Aventador. "Untouched, unmodified, perfect... but without a driver," he comments, almost disillusioned. Also of note is a Maserati Granturismo.

Further on, a Ferrari 575 Superamerica, an Aston Martin Vanquish and even a McLaren 675LT appear in the darkness. Along the way, the YouTuber discovers several "supercar graveyards" beneath the streets of Beverly Hills. Some squares are home to exceptional models: Lamborghini Huracan STO, Lamborghini Sterrato, Ferrari 599XX, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, McLaren Speedtail and Elva, parked side by side in almost religious silence.



Even recent models are not spared. In a huge open-air parking lot, Effspot filmed dozens of Lucid Air electric sedans left under the Californian sun, visibly unsold. The American economy and the sluggish electric car market seem to have turned these parking lots into vast dormant stocks.

These images are striking in their contrast. In one of the richest neighborhoods in the world, where every square meter fetches a premium, cars costing hundreds of thousands of dollars are gathering dust, sometimes for four or five years, according to the Youtubeur.



Some belong to collectors who simply no longer find the time to drive them. Others, according to Effspot, could be exhibition or service vehicles, forgotten after a change of ownership. But the effect remains striking: Lamborghini Aventador SV, Ferrari F8 Tributo, Rolls-Royce Wraith, and Bentley Continental left to their own devices in the darkness of a deserted parking lot.


Beverly Hills, a symbol of luxury and excess, shows its other side here. This phenomenon is not unique to California. In Dubai, London and Hong Kong, similar videos are circulating, showing collections of Ferraris and Porsches left to decay. The striking example of the Ferrari Enzo abandoned in a Dubai parking lot. Effspot to continue his explorationx. "We don't leave any stone unturned," he says in his video.

It's crazy! I can't believe they've all been abandoned 🤔
I have too many questions after seeing this type of video! Ferrari , Lamborghini rolls Royce ect... Ferrari who are really attached to their cars, how can they not want them back, especially after seeing this?
Are you serious? Ferrari and the others are first and foremost merchants. The so-called passion is for a few historical fanboys. The others, and the manufacturer first and foremost, see it only as a product with commercial value. In short, what's sold is no longer their problem. Otherwise, they'd already be avoiding selling them to I don't know which "con...rds" in certain circles who just want to do stupid things with them!
Just 2 steps away from discovering that these cars are hardly ever used on a daily basis, but rather stored, collected and preserved...
Sometimes for the young and wealthy, in a directly usable museum garage, but often for others in a sheltered corner, inevitably gathering dust at some point.
For young c**, it's immediately "abandoned".
Good good good 😁😂
In my building, lots of tenants are moving out, abandoning their bicycles and mountain bikes in working order. It's the evil of the century.
