We’ve seen tons of cars abandoned in the Middle East, but this particular one unfortunately takes things to a whole new level. This Maserati wasn’t just abandoned - its owner left it behind after the vehicle was hit by the flood.
As you know, Israel has recently been affected by heavy floods and while the big picture has already been discussed by the authorities, small-scale cases such as this one sometimes remain unseen.

We are talking about a Maserati Quattroporte belonging to the first generation. The car has been found at the bottom of a river bed, being completely ruined by the Holy Land weather.

The water and the soil that have filled each and every corner of the car would’ve been enough to destroy it on their own. Nevertheless, the vehicle also shows signs of serious damage, and we expect it to have been carried by the flood, hitting various objects and collecting vegetation in the process.

The front end of the once mighty Italian sedan is damaged, with the cabin is filled with water.

How this such a V8 masterpiece fell into the hands of the flood?

The images of the Maserati have been flying around on Twitter (no pun intended), but there’s not much info accompanying them. At first, you might be tempted to say that a car in such a state isn’t worth the effort of trying to recover it.

Nevertheless, the rumor mill talks about the owner having tried to cross a flooded road, with this causing the Maserati to be taken away by the rushing water.

Perhaps the greatest irony of all is to see that Maserati Trident still standing. Sure, it has seen better days, but the fact that it remains attached to the car - switching to the classical mythology, we’ll remind you Maserati’s emblem is the weapon of Poseidon or Neptune, the god of the sea.
