Let us have a moment of silence for the bright green Lamborghini Murcielago, which sadly burnt to a crisp on Sunday, in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. The cause for the severe fire is yet unknown, but apparently, the local media is saying that the car had been involved in an illegal drag race.

Oddly enough, the local fire crews did not reach the car in time, despite looking like it was located in a downtown area, where access should have not been an issue.

The limited information we do have states that the fire started somewhere just in front of the engine compartment, in the very center of the vehicle, then began spreading. The black smoke from the burning Lambo rose into the air and could be seen for miles around.

As you can see from the open door, the driver did manage to escape, and was completely unharmed. In the end, the final photo shows that the fire damage extends to each and every part of the car, and from the looks of it, no part of it looks salvageable.
