Vancouver Police have impounded a total of 13 cars valued at more than $2 million after the drivers were spotted reportedly street racing. Including cars from marques such as Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, three Nissan GT-Rs, Audi, and a few Lamborghini’s.
Here’s the full list:
  • 2007 Ferrari 599
  • 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
  • 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
  • 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo
  • 2009 Audi R8
  • 2012 Nissan GT-R
  • 2010 Nissan GT-R
  • 2010 Nissan GT-R
  • 2010 Maserati GranTurismo
  • 2010 Maserati GranTurismo
  • 2011 Mercedes SL63 AMG
  • 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG
  • 2005 Aston Martin DB9
The vehicles caught going around 125 miles per hour with some members of the supercar crew holding up traffic to give the others a chance to floor it. Police eventually cornered the racers and began impounding their vehicles. Each driver was cited for driving without due consideration of others (Canadian violations even sound polite).

If all of this weren’t strange enough for you, The Vancouver Sun reports that all of the cited drivers were under 20 years old, with most displaying N, or Novice licenses. The vehicles will all be impounded for seven days and the drivers will face a fine of $196 each. Head over to TheProvince.com for a look at a gallery of the cars being towed off into the sunset.
