Philippines destroys several luxury cars: Beware of the video if you like supercars!

The problem of smuggling unauthorized vehicles with all the papers in order is something the Philippines takes very seriously. We have mentioned it on other occasions, and we have seen how they do not hesitate to crush several high-end car models. From supercars to luxury saloons, they have met their end crushed beneath the tracks of several excavators that carry out this grim task.

The cars are seized by the authorities and confiscated to give the image that the government takes the issue of legality in the import of luxury vehicles very seriously. This destruction of high-end vehicles is the second one carried out this year, and 21 cars have been destroyed on this occasion. The total value of the batch is estimated at 1.2 million dollars, so these are all quite expensive cars that their buyers are going to miss.

Luxury cars destroyed without hesitation

The cars that went through the destruction process were a Bentley Flying Spur, a Porsche 911 and a McLaren 620R. These are the most eye-catching, but there are others no less impressive that also carry a high cost and that surely caused more than one serious headache for those who were waiting for them. A Mercedes Benz SLK, a Lotus Elise and a modified Hyundai Genesis are other models that can be seen in the video.

On other occasions we have seen how a BMW Z1, a Ferrari 360 Spider and a Lamborghini Gallardo were destroyed. Not only are these extremely expensive cars, but a Renault 5, a Opel Manta and several models of Mercedes, impressive but not as exclusive, have also gone through this process.

In the country itself there is controversy over these decisions, as quite a few voices want the government to auction these vehicles and allocate the proceeds to social purposes. However, the government is not backing down and wants to project an uncompromising image against vehicle smuggling. What do you think?
