State to auction luxury cars

ALBANY — The State of New York is about to become a luxury-car dealer — at least for a day.

State officials announced Friday that they will auction off a 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Nera that was seized by the attorney general’s office during an investigation into a $3.2 million Medicaid scam in Brooklyn.

“The Lamborghini has a black exterior with an engine hood that features a transparent glass panel,” the state’s Office of General Services said as it announced the Nov. 8 auction in Albany.

The two-door coupe, which has only 6,316 miles on it, is one of three luxury cars being sold at the auction.

A 2012 BMW 650 convertible with about 35,924 miles and a 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera with about 42,010 miles are also on the block. Both vehicles were seized by the Department of Motor Vehicles during car-theft investigations.
