Thirteen high-performance supercars have been seized after police received multiple reports of dangerous and anti-social driving on the M11 during the evening rush hour. Essex Police launched an investigation after members of the public reported a convoy of luxury sports cars travelling northbound on the motorway at around 4.20pm on Tuesday, 28 July.

Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche Among Vehicles Seized
The seized vehicles include a number of high-performance models, including Lamborghinis, Audi R8s, a Ferrari and a Porsche. Police have not confirmed how or where the vehicles were seized but said action was taken following reports from concerned motorists.
Dangerous Driving Allegations
Witnesses told officers the convoy accelerated to excessive speeds before suddenly slowing down. Drivers are also alleged to have:
- Braked heavily without warning.
- Driven dangerously close together.
- Disrupted the normal flow of motorway traffic.
- Used the hard shoulder to undertake other vehicles.
The reported behaviour is alleged to have placed other road users at risk.
