The three vehicles come from assets seized from drug traffickers and are being held in a warehouse in the Spanish city of Coslada, near Madrid. The auction is being held electronically on the Escrapalia portal. Any individual or legal entity may participate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the auction, and by subscribing to the portal free of charge.
-Ferrari 575M Maranello. Launched in 2002, it succeeded the legendary 550 Maranello and was a refinement in all aspects: more power, better aerodynamics and advanced technology. With only 2,056 units produced with manual gearbox, its exclusivity is indisputable, becoming an object of desire for Ferrari collectors.
It has a 5.75 L (5748 cc) V12 engine; a power output of 515 hp (508 HP) at 7,250 rpm; a top speed of 325 km/h, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 4.2 seconds.
-Ferrari Testarossa F512TR. It is a significant evolution of the iconic Ferrari Testarossa, introduced in 1991. This improved version incorporated notable changes in design, performance and mechanics, consolidating its position as a benchmark in the history of the Italian brand.
Between 1991 and 1994, Ferrari produced approximately 2,261 units of the 512TR. This version is especially valued by enthusiasts and collectors due to its balance between enhanced performance and classic Testarossa design.
It has a 12-cylinder engine in V at 180° (flat) 4,943 cc; with a power output: 428 hp at 6,750 rpm. It reaches a top speed of 314 km/h, and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
Aston Martin DBS. The ultimate expression of the British Grand Tourer. Introduced in 2007 and produced until 2012, it replaced the Vanquish S and became world famous as James Bond’s car in “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace”.
It was presented in 2007 and began production in 2008, being the successor to the Vanquish S and a more aggressive version of the DB9. Its production was limited to 3,400 units, ensuring its status as an exclusive vehicle.
It integrates a 6.0L V12 naturally aspirated engine with an output of 517 hp (510 hp). It reaches a top speed of 307 km/h (193 mph) and accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds.
