In 2020, a viral Instagram post shed light on a trio of supercars abandoned in a defunct Chinese dealership. Fast forward four years, and these exotic vehicles remain trapped within the confines of the abandoned premises in Guangzhou, China.

The dealership shuttered its doors in 2012, following the enactment of anti-corruption laws by President Xi Jinping, which discouraged the consumption of luxury goods.

Left behind were three supercars, their once-glamorous presence now diminished by layers of dust and deflated tires, a testament to years of neglect.

Among the trio, the Porsche Carrera GT stands out as the most iconic, boasting a rare Zanzibar Red Metallic paint finish, one of only three produced in this striking color. Accompanying it is a 2005 Ferrari 575 Superamerica, distinguished by its manual gearbox and limited production run.

Rounding out the collection is a yellow fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette Z06, representing American muscle amidst the exotic lineup. While the Carrera GT’s provenance includes stints in Russia and Germany before finding its way to Asia with minimal mileage, the backstory of the Ferrari and Chevrolet remains elusive.

However, rumors suggest the dealership’s demise was precipitated by financial mismanagement, leaving the supercars languishing as collateral.

Efforts to salvage the Carrera GT reportedly faltered, compounded by legal constraints barring the re-registration of these vehicles under Chinese law. Consequently, the fate of these automotive treasures remains uncertain, their existence overshadowed by impending structural collapse.
