Flood Damages Exotic Cars in Singapore Garage

Everybody knows that supercars and water don’t mix, but what most people are thinking about is the loss of traction. But when the water is up to the door sills you know you have a problem. It pains us to report that a number of cars we really love have been damaged in a flash flood that hit a shopping, entertainment and high-end living area in Singapore.

The water managed to flood the local St. Regis Residences, where people with a lot of cash in their pocket and keys to some of the most exciting cars out there live. Supercars like the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo are now sitting in a deep puddle of water so deep as to make the Lambo look like a green frog.

In the photos provided by Singapore publication The News Paper, we can spot a Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 458 Italia, Rolls-Royce Ghost, a handful of BMWs and Audis, an Aston Martin V12 Vantage, a Maserati GranTurismo and a Porsche GT3 RS. The cars will probably be fine as long as they don’t open the doors or use the remote engine start system. Just trailer them to the garage for an quick fix and they should run as good as new, but if we owned those supercars, we just couldn’t help but fell that they were tarnished.

The only ray of light in the whole mess is that Mercedes G-Klasse that sits pretty with just its tires in the water.

Here is a rough estimated value of the cars when brand new on the Singapore market:

• Lamborghini Gallardo - SG$1,000,000
• Ferrari 458 Italia - SG$900,000
• Rolls-Royce Phantom - SG$1,400,000
• Aston Martin DB9 - SG$700,000
• Audi R8 - SG$700,000
• Maserati GranTurismo - SG$500,000
• Porsche GT3 RS - SG$600,000

That brings the grand total of damage to SG$5,800,000 or about USD4,140,000. We wonder just how much of that value was lost in the flood.
