December 31st, 1969 It seems the Mercedes McLaren SLR wasn’t the only supercar that was capable of spontaneously catching fire. Ferrari’s latest model, the 599 is also susceptible to getting a little hot under the collar. A 599 recently caught on fire during its first drive from a dealer in Germany, near Dresden. The driver escaped uninjured and has understandably been offered a replacement vehicle from Ferrari. Previously, a F430 caught on fire due to a problem with a faulty oil line – that’s 2 burnt Ferraris in 2 months. The images were collated by fan forum Exotixboard. Warning: Traumatic photos of burning Ferrari's ahead. F430 599 GTB
