This Lamborghini Urus only has a short 83 kilometers. Yet it is for scrapping. In fact, the fault is so severe that the car is not allowed on the road again. Can you see why?
A Lamborghini Urus has ended up as scrap due to a small but crucial error.
Although the car appears almost new, the missing detail makes it unsuitable for use on public roads. Therefore, the car, a Urus Performante, must be crushed, even though the odometer shows just 83 kilometers.
The reason the vehicle is sold through a scrapyard is simply the chassis number. Typically, cars end up in scrapyards after serious accidents, where the damage is so extensive that repairs are not cost-effective.
Although the VIN is found elsewhere on the car, its location near the windshield is often crucial for registration in many countries, including the United States, where it was first imported.
The car is being put up for sale by the American company IAAI, which specializes in auctions of damaged or written-off vehicles.
Cheating makes Lamborghini impossible to get back on the road – maybe!
It's not mechanical problems like a defective battery or a broken engine that have sent the car to scrap. The new price for a Lamborghini Urus Performante is normally around four million Danish kroner.
According to the media outlet Carscoops, the chassis number was probably removed after a theft in an attempt to clone the car or perhaps get it out of the US again.
What exactly will happen to the car after the auction is unclear. It is also unclear how the authorities will view the need for a new chassis number. Not to mention the factory back home in Italy.
However, the car comes with all keys, and according to the auction description there are no known mechanical faults.
The Lamborghini Urus Performante is equipped with a four-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. It produces 666 horsepower and 850 Newton meters of torque.
The car's top speed is listed at 306 km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.3 seconds. Despite the technical specifications and almost pristine condition, its future as a vehicle on public roads is uncertain – and only because of the chassis number.
