Inside supercar graveyard where Lamborghinis and Corvettes worth hundreds of thousands have been left to rot | The Sun

SUPERCARS that many drivers dream of owning have been left to rot in a Dubai scrapyard.

Fresh footage shows a collection of Lamborghinis, Corvettes and hulking Mercedes left to bake in the desert heat.


So called supercar graveyards are a common sight in Dubai as many owners choose to dump the cars when they are unable to keep up with the chunky repayments.

Others walk away from the motors after they have been involved in a crash and can't be bothered with costly repairs.

The latest video, posted by TikTok star Nemanja Kralj, shows a long line of dream cars rotting away in a Dubai compound.

The collection includes a stunning Lamborghini Urus, which normally sells for a few hundred thousand pounds.

TikTok users agreed that it was a shame to see the cars left to rot in the sun.

One said : "Usually the fines on these vehicles are more than they actually worth, hence they are at graveyards."

Each year, up to 3,000 cars including Lamborghinis and Aston Martins with eyewatering price tags get abandoned in Dubai.

From Rolls Royces and Ferraris to Bentleys and Mercedes – many worth millions of pounds – the once gleaming models are condemned to rot in the scrapyard.

However Dubai has reformed the laws over more recent years, but many businessmen still prefer to ditch their cars when they start to run out of cash.

For many the motors represent a legal and financial headache, and decide to walk away from the cars before leaving the country for good.
