Watch In Horror As A Lamborghini Murcielago Is Ripped Apart By Taiwanese Authorities
An apparently illegally imported Murcielago is seen being ripped apart piece by piece by authorities in Taiwan
Details about why this is happening are thin on the ground, but we gather this Murcielago was imported into Taiwan and never registered properly. It was reportedly stopped after being driven without number plates.
We don’t think it’s a genuine SV despite the big graphics splashed down the side, but regardless, it’s heartbreaking to see it ripped apart piece by piece.
If you can stomach the full 14 minutes or so of destruction, you’re made of strong stuff…

It’s easier to destroy a Lamborghini, than it is a Disklok.
cheeky Disklok!
Yay, you’re back!
Not right now Disklok, not right now. I have to cry.
Murcielagos and other similar vehicles usually have trouble passing the stringent emissions and noise regulations of the Taiwanese DMV. Because of that many grey imports are unable to be registered or issued license plates. For example, importers who bring in Ferraris and Lamborghinis tend to have to do a fair bit of ECU and exhaust tweaks to get it under the legal limits whereas official Ferrari and Lamborghini Taiwan dealerships have no problem. Considering a brand new Huracan costs somewhere in the region of 600,000USD it makes sense that they want to stop people from being able to go to the US to buy a brand new Huracan for a 1/3 of that and just import it themselves. Even with a 100% import tax it is still cheaper than buying from Lamborghini Taiwan.
Thanks for the explanation
Right… how much for the front bumper?
Have they not heard of car crushers? They could have at least given it a quick death instead of a 30 minute video of someone attempting to operate a small digger with a claw.
trying to kill someone near him..
this is really dumb. They could have fined the guy and forced him to make it legal by going through the process. Or they could have auctioned it off to someone else or someone outside the country. This is such a huge waste. Shame on people who waste.
I think an issue was the way the guy brought the car into the country. He probably told customs officials that it was a parts car (so much much lower import charges) so it was never meant to be on the road. You can legally bring in any car you want into the country as long as you pay the full and correct taxes on it. Even if you do that though it doesn’t mean you can get it registered at the DMV but it does mean that the authorities don’t have a legal basis to confiscate the car from you even if you’re caught driving it around with fake plates. At most, they’ll fine you and warn you not to do it again.
Kids in Africa coulda ate that lambo.
