It's just usually due to import taxes in countries. It's usually the case in the developing countries too, I can speak for India being from here - an extra 120% or so in taxes. So the price more than doubles up automatically.

But off the record, most people don't pay "double the money", they usually bribe customs officials during the import process and just flaunt to the world they drive the car that they paid 2x for. I can speak for India if not other nations.
