Taiwan authorities crush illegal Lamborghini car

The Taiwanese government has destroyed a Lamborghini Murcielago, reportedly because its owner failed to provide the proper registration.

Car Buzz reports that the owner had the car confiscated by police two years ago for not having a registered license. He was initially issued a fine, but repeatedly appealed the court’s decision, infuriating officials in the process. Having rejected multiple appeals from him, the government simply sent the 632HP supercar to a scrap yard and ordered it to be destroyed — and destroyed it was.

The worst thing is, it’s not even satisfying to watch. It doesn’t get crushed into a nice little cube, like you might expect. No, it’s simply some dude in a smaller digger, repeatedly smashing and grabbing at the car’s bodywork.

According to state-run Focus Taiwan, the car was ordered to be destroyed after the owner of the vehicle was stopped at a check point and it was revealed that he had fake license plates for the car. The car was initially impounded under the Under the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act in 2013, and a three year legal battle with authorities ensued.

The owner of the vehicle, a commercial pilot, filed multiple appeals to get his car back, but in the end, the $315,000 car became a pile of scrap metal.
