Luxe Enzo Ferrari still wears deserted look in Dubai

The Enzo Ferrari is one of the rarest and most desirable hypercars in recent memory. Named after the legendary Italian sports carmaker's founder, only 400 of the vehicles were built.

Although the car sold originally for around $6,00,000 when it debuted in 2002, values have skyrocketed since then.

Last year, the final Enzo built, which was owned by Pope John Paul II, sold at an auction for $6 million, while a rebuilt wrecked one sold for more than $1.75 million earlier this month.

Which is why it was truly extraordinary when pictures of a dusty Enzo abandoned in a Dubai Police impound lot turned up on the internet in 2012. Even more extraordinary is that the Enzo still remains unclaimed.

The car has been in the possession of the Dubai police since it was abandoned by its British owner in 2011. Although law enforcement in Dubai usually sells impounded vehicles after a period of time in detention, this car is not for sale.

According to a local publication, Interpol believes the Enzo was either stolen or purchased with stolen funds. There is also an active legal dispute over the ownership of the car in Dubai's court system.

Don't worry too much about the well-being of this precious car though. While initial photos show the Enzo baking in the desert sun and caked in dirt, the Ferrari has since been moved to an indoor facility to prevent further damage.
