A FLEET of luxury supercars - dubbed 'retirement village' - is piled high with eye-catching iconic motors.

The expensive collection of luxury motors is perched in Stuttgart, Germany and is stacked with race-winning Porsche vehicles.

The impressive warehouse features a 959, a handful of 356s ranging from the early Gmünd cars to the later Carrera 2, all of which gained widespread fame after featuring in the iconic Le Mans race, Classic Driver reported.

Porsche's 911 models also have pride of place, a car which claimed the fifth spot in a 1999 poll to determine the Car of the Century.

Hidden amongst the eye-catching herd is also a 904 GTS and a gorgeous Rothmans-liveried 962 once driven by legendary British driver Derek Bell.

And don't forget the sleek 919 Hybrid favoured by F1 giant Nico Hulkenberg.

“These cars are left in totally original condition, just as they came back from testing in California, or the Geneva show stand, or the Nürburgring or Le Mans,” photographer Remi Dargegen said.

"Every day, cars are arriving from the museum, or departing for exhibitions and races around the world."

“Among the very few specific cars that are not demonstrated, but preserved in their original condition, is the 1971 Le Mans-winning 917K, whose magnesium body is particularly fragile, and whose engine has not been started since it crossed the finish line that day.”
