Frankfurt customs seize stolen Ferrari valued at over €500,000

Customs authorities at Frankfurt Airport intercepted the attempted illegal export of a luxury Ferrari supercar, valued at more than €500,000. The vehicle, a hybrid Ferrari 849 Testarossa producing 1,050 hp, was scheduled to be transported by air to Mexico.

On the night of October 23, 2026, officials identified inconsistencies in the export documentation. This suspicion was bolstered by prior police information suggesting the vehicle may have been stolen in Belgium. A detailed inspection and verification of the chassis number confirmed the authorities' suspicions, leading to the seizure of the vehicle.

The high-performance hybrid features a 4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine and is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.3 seconds. Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances of the alleged theft and the involvement of those attempting to move the car out of Germany.
