___________Paying exorbitant prices for supercars may be a drop in the ocean for multi-millionaires, but they could do without their luxury motors being flooded - in their own underground car park.
[/SIZE]
___________This was the devastating scene after millions of pounds worth of exotic motors were wrecked when a flash flood hit the basement of one of the world's most exclusive apartment blocks.[/SIZE]
___________The St Regis Apartments on Singapore's coastline cost up to £10million and the car park is packed with luxury motors.[/SIZE]
___________But the mega-rich residents are counting the cost after a warning system failed to alert them to potential flooding.[/SIZE]
___________As a result a dozen supercars were submerged up to their wheel arches - including a yellow Ferrari 458 Italia and green Lamborghini Gallardo parked next to each other.[/SIZE]
___________The owners have to pay huge taxes on imported luxury cars in Singapore, with the models costing significantly more than they would in the UK.[/SIZE]
___________As a result both the Lamborghini and Ferrari cost more than £550,000 each while a Rolls[/SIZE]
___________A £450,000 Aston Martin V12 Vantage and £250,000 Porsche 911 were also victims of the flood, which caused major damage a nearby shopping centre in Singapore's commercial hub.[/SIZE]
___________It is estimated the cost of repairing the vehicles will run into hundreds of thousands if water has made its way into the interiors or affected the electrics.[/SIZE]
___________Tommy Wareham, from prestige car dealer SuperVettura, said: 'If the dirty flood water has managed to get inside the cars it could deform and stain the interior which would be very costly to replace.[/SIZE]
___________'The biggest fear is that some of the motorists may have tried to have started their cars which could suck water into the engine.[/SIZE]
___________'I'd recommend the owners have a water inspection which could be a long, painstaking and possibly expensive job.[/SIZE]
___________'These certainly aren't the sort of pictures insurance companies want to see!'[/SIZE]
