Two street-racing teenagers have had their high-end vehicles impounded and face charges after police clocked them going more than 140 km/h in West Vancouver, police say.

A police officer spotted the cars on Cypress Bowl Road just after 10 a.m. PT Friday going 143 km/h in a 60 km/h zone, said Cpl. Jag Johal.

“The driver of the BMW sped past the officer in an attempt to elude,” said Johal. “The driver of the Porsche made an evasive manoeuvre by pulling a u-turn and fleeing the away from the officer.”

Johal said the BMW was located in a ditch with about $15,000 damage and the Porsche was located at a nearby school.

Both vehicles were impounded for street racing and the two 17-year-old novice drivers were prohibited from driving for 15 days.

Police will be recommending the charges of excessive speeding and failing to stop for police, said Johal.

RCMP impounded 13 vehicles, including a Ferrari, three Lamborghinis and two Maseratis after an alleged large-scale street race Wednesday afternoon southbound on Highway 99, south of Vancouver.

The estimated value of the impounded cars was $2 million.

The average age of the 13 drivers was about 20, police said.
