A man has been warned that a custodial sentence is 'likely' after crashing his step-father's Audi Q7 into an estimated £1 million ($1.3 million) worth of supercars in Chelsea.
Ahmed Al Husseini, 25, hit speeds of up to 70 miles per hour on quiet residential road Moore Street as he chased a Porsche in August last year.

CCTV caught footage of the crash as the former delivery driver lost control of the car and smashed into 11 stationary high end sports cars, before slamming into some metal railings in front of a terrace house.
Among the vehicles he collided with were a McLaren Sports Car worth an estimated £300,00, an £100,000 Porsche Cayenne and an £150,000 Bentley Bentaya.
Two other Porsches and two more Audi Q7s were also among the vehicles damaged by the crash, the combined worth of them all an estimated £1 million.
Unsurprisingly, Al Husseini has since been up before the courts and pleaded guilty to a single charge of dangerous driving, although a technicality means he hasn't been sentenced just yet.
Judge Lindsey Rose told the speedster at London's Isleworth Crown Court that custody was 'likely', saying 'this is a very serious matter', the Daily Mail reports.

She continued: "The fact that this is being adjourned should not be taken on how the judge will deal with it. This is a very serious matter and custody is likely. All options are open."
Al Husseini had arrived at court using a crutch to walk, wearing a black hooded top with his face obscured by a mask. His lawyer Tony Nayager told the court that his client had suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash that he was still dealing with over a year on.
The defendant will reportedly require surgery on his knee as it had been shattered in the crash, while he'd also lost his job as a result of the injury.

Al Husseini - who spent two days in hospital following the crash - still bears physical blemishes from the incident, with eyewitnesses at the court noting a jagged scar from a head injury sustained at the time.
Thankfully no one else was injured on Moore Street, where houses can fetch up to £3 million, but the severity of the crash was left in no doubt, with witnesses claiming anyone who had been walking along the pavement at the time would've almost certainly been killed.
While they wait for medical reports from the injuries he's suffered, Al Husseini has been granted bail and will be sentenced at Isleworth later this year.
