During the weekend when opposition forces took control in Syria, rumors about Bashar al-Assad fleeing to Russia spread, sparking curiosity and exploration into what he left behind. People began to uncover the luxurious relics left by the former ruler, among which the most striking were the expensive cars hidden in the garage of his grand palace.
Assad's sprawling palace in Damascus stands like a fortress of luxury, attracting the attention of countless rebels and ordinary citizens who flocked to this mysterious place, eager to catch a glimpse. The video showcases dozens of luxurious cars, leaving viewers in awe.
At the beginning of the video, we clearly see a red Lamborghini LM 002 parked next to a Lexus LX and a Toyota pickup truck. Next, a pair of Toyota FJ trucks and a Mercedes S-Class appear, along with an Aston Martin Rapide.
Following that is a Ferrari F50 with a V12 engine, alongside a Ferrari F430 powered by a V8, sharing space with a stunning red Lamborghini Diablo. To the right of the shot, we see a Cadillac Escalade and several S-Class sedans. At the end of the row, a white Audi R8 can be spotted, next to a BMW and a Mercedes SL-Class.
Assad's garage also housed a Mercedes SLS and a Bentley Continental GT. As the camera turned around the corner, we caught sight of a Rolls Royce Ghost, an Audi S8, and a Land Rover Defender.
Undoubtedly, all these cars are rare high-end items in Syria. Moreover, there are countless other vehicles with varying values. The Ferrari F50 alone is likely worth over a million dollars. Explorers found many other valuable items in the palace, such as bags, jewelry, and other adornments. However, the future of these cars remains uncertain. While it is evident from the videos that some were left unlocked, none seemed to be operational. Aside from locating the keys, we imagine some may need battery charging to start again.
