Italian Mid Engined Sports Car + Fire = A Big Mess - Always been the case and sadly will be continuing the trend with the 458's what a shame :( However there is no accounting for $hite driving as in the case of pic no.2, bet the OH by the door was well chuffed :roll:

Indeed, I did see that a few days ago on the 'tube'. Shame they don't actually show it happened :roll:

Loos like Ferrari are on the case with the burning 458's http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=22425 have to say it brrings back memories of the Lotus Elise 111s model back in 1999, several cars ended up in a pile of molten plastic due to an engine ECU missfire problem.
