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...

    I bought a Rosso 1978 308GTS in 2001 and have loved it ever since. A trip to the Monza GP one year was superb fun. It has been generally reliable with regular servicing, and it is not complex. Key maintenance tasks are quite simple. The sound of the 4 Webers is pure music. My main concern for you James is that you would not comfortably fit in the car. Ergonomics are a period disaster. I am just under 6ft and average build, and only just fit in. With a track day helmet I do not, but it's a GTS so I can take the roof off! So try before you buy.
