This Lamborghini is worth $400,000 – but it was found in the middle of a rainforest, not in a car showroom.
Deep in the depths of an Asian rainforest, this Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV was found in a damaged condition.
A video filmed in a scrapyard in Myanamar showed the condition of the car.
Posted to Insatgram, the clip revealed the extent of the damage.

How did this Lamborghini end up in a rainforest?
The interior is covered in shards of glass from the shattered windows.
Cardboard boxes are piled up on the seats and the windshield is dented in some places.
It looks as if its time in the jungle hasn’t been kind to it.
Cars spending time exposed to the elements tend not to do so well, just like the vehicles in this car graveyard.
Given that only 600 of these cars were ever made, it’s very unusual that one should end up in the wilderness like this.
So how did this happen?
There’s no definite answers, but the most popular theory appears to be that the car is the property of one of Myanmar’s richest families.
The family were allegedly part of a crime syndicate who made their money through online scams and drug trafficking.
This reportedly made them $14 billion a year – plenty of cash to spend on Lamborghinis.
At the end of 2023, it is believed that an armed organization called the Myanmar Nationalities Democratic Alliance Army took down the crime syndicate.
In the process, all of the syndicate’s loot was taken.
This is presumably how the Lambo ended up being abandoned.
Abandoned Lamborghini Aventadors are nothing new, but the jungle is considerably less glamorous than a Hollywood neighborhood.
A closer look at the Aventador LP750-4 SV
It’s a real shame that the Aventador has been allowed to get into this condition.
Even setting aside the fact that it’s super rare, this is one fine looking car.
Capable of reaching 60mph in an eye-watering 2.8 seconds and equipped with an engine power of 552kW/750hp, this is no garage queen.
Hopefully this unfortunate car can be brought back to its former glory and put its residency in the jungle behind it.
