Hells Angels gang’s £3MILLION car collection of Ferraris, Bentleys and Porsches seized by cops – and given a new use
A FLASHY set of cars including Ferraris, Bentleys and Porsches has been seized by the cops and given a very interesting new use.
A group of 21 luxury motors were taken off the Hells Angels biker gang in Turkey and given a £3million makeover.
The cars underwent a huge transformation that saw all 21 models be painted white and blue and given some special additions to them.
The official police mechanics added in full traffic police badges, sirens and warning lights ahead of the cars being used by on-duty cops.
The supercars were seized in a huge police crackdown on the notorious Hells Angel-style Comanchero motorcycle gang in Istanbul who are also known to be involved in the countries drug trade.
Police bagged themselves a beautiful Ferrari 488 GTB, a Bentley Continental GT and an electric Porsche Taycan Turbo which can go 0-62mph in only 3.2 seconds.

The other cars seized include a luxury Range Rover, multiple pricey Mercedes Benz motors, BMWs and an Audi RS6.
Police chiefs revealed the new squad cars at a special presentation and they're expected to start being used in early 2024.
Police also managed to get their hands on prized assets from 55 suspects that is thought to be worth £130million.
The contents included bank accounts, houses, and shares in 22 different companies.
The car confiscations and assets taken weren't even the most important things seized as Comanchero boss Hakan Ayik was also caught alongside 36 other suspected gang members.
Ayik had been on the run for over a decade because of his pivotal role as the mastermind behind the drug-trafficking ring used by the Australia-based biker gang,
Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said last month that the gang was involved in international drug trafficking and money laundering.
Police also accused Ayik and co-boss Duax Hohepa Ngakuru of moving and selling drugs around the world from South America.
They're also believed to be laundering their money in Turkey.
Virtually every member of the gang captured was on Interpol's most-wanted list making it a crucial raid.
Ayik managed to escape being captured for years despite some of his close associates being arrested in the last 12 months - including Mark Buddle and Duax Ngakuru.
Cops started to close in on the drug kingpin in July when his assets were frozen by Turkish officials.
AFP Assistant Commissioner Nigel Ryan said at the time that capturing Ayik was essential.
Mr Ryan said: "He's living the high life, he's fat and rich off the drug sales that are coming into Australia, killing our kids."
