Buy a Ferrari, use the engine for warming your hands

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.

It is a shame. German dealer should have furnished bratwurst for roasting and beer for refreshment...
