Super Ferrari
As shocking as it appears to be it is not unusual for this particular model of Ferrari to get on fire. The reason for this is an engine-overheating flaw which may cause a fire in the engine bay. Here you can see burning F430 at South Luzon Expressway in Philippines.
To quote a witness:
The car owner is a good friend, and I was with him yesterday...actually right behind him when the fire started. We were driving a bit quicker at the skyway, but when we reached SLEX, we slowed down because of traffic. The incident happened right before the Susana Heights exit (800 mteres from it). We were following each other (there were about 8 of us doing a leisurely sunday drive) at the part of SLEX where the lanes were guided by plastic orange things...so it at about 60 km/h. The car started to accelerate a bit after the single lane guide, and the fire erupted form the left rear bank of the car.
Thought it was an engine blow out, but it was actually a liquid leak on to the hot exhaust part of the automobile. They tried to receive a fire extinguisher but the obtainable came late, & was not to cease the fire.
The owner stepped out of the automobile immediately after they saw the rear fire errupt in his sidemirror. It did not blow up, burned (up to twenty feet fire) until the whole rear half melted & the fire van came to cease it.
It was an unreal sight, & was a mournful moment. Fortunately the automobile is covered under warranty still, & there's worldwide reported incedents of similar events!"
