An abandoned Lamborghini Murcielago was discovered moldering in a junkyard, and investigation revealed the supercar had belonged to Indian actor, Amitabh Bachchan.

Seeing the once stunning supercar abandoned and neglected is a sad sight.

The actor had sold the vehicle before it was involved in a crash in Delhi, India.

However, with parts for the discontinued car hard to come by, it was left to rot.

How the Lamborghini Murcielago was abandoned

The iconic sports car once belonged to veteran actor and star of Chupke Chupke, Amitabh Bachchan.

However, the actor sold the Lamborghini Murcielago before it was damaged in an accident in Delhi.

Repair was possible, but costly, and finding parts for a long-discontinued car proved tricky.

There were only a few units of this vehicle in India – making finding spare parts even more difficult.

The new owner made the tough decision to leave the car as it was and abandon it in a junkyard, where rip_car managed to capture the sorry sight on camera.

The team is known for showing vintage, classic, or imported cars rotting or abandoned across India. 

It might be of interest to this man who offered $100,000 to anyone who could help him find a manual Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV.

Amitabh Bachchan car collection

Not the actor’s first Lamborghini, he has previously posted on X about the Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Diablo, and even the iconic Lamborghini Countach outside of India.

He has also spoken about owning Lamborghini’s first-ever SUV, the LamborghiniLM200, in London.

Aside from cars from the Italian brand, Bachchan is also a fan of Mercedes.

He owns a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, Mercedes-Benz V-Class, and Mercedes-Benz GLS.

Also sitting in his fleet are a Lexus LX 470, Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography, Mini Cooper S, Toyota Camry Hybrid, and Bentley Continental GT.

In the past, Bachchan was the proud owner of a Rolls Royce Phantom, which he subsequently sold.

Sadly, after the new owner neglected to transfer the registration details to their name, the Phantom was seized.

Here’s the story of a Rolls-Royce Phantom abandoned outside an Indian hotel.

Think Bachchan’s collection is impressive? He has nothing on this India-based barber-turned-millionaire who owns 400+ vehicles, including a Rolls Royce Ghost.
