SHOCKING pictures have revealed Bashar al-Assad’s trove of luxury vehicles worth millions of dollars in the fallen dictator’s Presidential Palace in Damascus.
The high-end collection features a array of rare and prestigious models, turning the ousted tyrant’s garage into an ultra-lux auto gallery.
Shocking images show the underground garage as a glimmering shrine to excess, with rows of meticulously maintained supercars.
The lineup, which also belonged to Assad’s brother Maher and other family members, includes several iconic names worth an absolute fortune.
Among the most eye-catching is a Ferrari F50, valued at over £2 million, and a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, which sells for around £240,000.
A Lamborghini Murcielago, costing upwards of £300,000, sits alongside an Aston Martin, priced at £150,000.
A luxurious Bentley starts at £200,000, while a Cadillac ranges from £60,000 to £100,000, depending on the model.
Even the comparatively modest Audi TT, priced at £40,000, and a sleek Mercedes-AMG, starting at £120,000, add to the unbelievable display of excess.
Some vehicles were even described as limited edition classics and cutting-edge electric sports cars in a stark disparity between the Assad family’s extravagant lifestyle and the daily torture and hardships faced by ordinary Syrians.
One striking shot highlights a gleaming red Ferrari F50, its curves reflecting the dim light of the underground lair.
Another shows a Lamborghini Murcielago in vivid orange, flanked by a midnight-blue Bentley and a silver Aston Martin.
The seizing of these supercars is the latest in a series of dramatic raids after the toppling of Assad’s 24-year regime.
In December, rebels stormed the Presidential Palace, uncovering bizarre personal treasures including a signed photo of the Queen, gold-plated chests, and a FIFA award from 2005.
Shamed tyrant Bashar al-Assad fled Syria as the Islamist-led rebels swept into Damascus, appearing to leave behind some of his most prized possessions.
One image showed a room filled with various paintings and art pieces, with shelves filled with files, boxes, and even vases.
Gold seemed to be a favourite for Assad, with various plates, drawers and boxes all seeming to be made of the ultra-luxurious material.
The mansion of his brother Major General Maher al-Assad, who led a Syrian Army unit, was also turned over.
Footage showed what appeared to be a network of tunnels beneath it with high-arched ceilings, electronic doors and rooms under the house including a fully kitted-out kitchen complete with Pepsi cans and Tetley tea.
The collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s brutal rule came after a lightning 12-day offensive led by the armed wing of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

Fall of Assad

BASHAR al-Assad’s 24-year rule came to an abrupt end in December 2024, following a swift 12-day offensive by rebel forces.
The Islamist-led Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) seized Damascus, toppling Assad’s regime and ending his family’s 53-year dynasty.
Facing overwhelming defeat, Assad fled to Moscow under the protection of pal Vladimir Putin, leaving behind a nation ravaged by war and a Presidential Palace filled with symbols of his excess.
The fall of Assad ignited jubilant celebrations across Syria, with statues of Assad and his father, Hafez, toppled in acts of defiance.
Syria has been shattered by more than 13 years of conflict that has turned cities to rubble, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and forced millions abroad as refugees.
In a victory statement, rebels congratulated the country on overthrowing Assad.
The Syrian National Coalition said: “The great Syrian revolution has broken decades of tyranny and oppression, giving birth to a new Syria.
“Today, it has moved from the struggle to overthrow the Assad regime to the struggle to build a Syria that honours the sacrifices of its people.”
It also declared a commitment to transfer power to a transitional governing body and aim “for a free, democratic, and pluralistic Syria”.
