Allan-Herbie Report post Posted June 21, 2010 I wonder why the front burned but the rear is intact? Because the person who stole it didnt realise the motor was in the back when he set it on fire! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovik Report post Posted June 21, 2010 Good friend's car. Electrical problem, nothing was stolen. All the lights on dashboard lit up, smoke started coming out of dash, he got off the highway and pretty much watched it burn until the FD arrived. Sucks.

TwilighT Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Seriously why doesn't anybody stop and ask themselves why are these cars burning? A close friend's Gallardo has also burnt partially because of electric problem, they could be able to stop fire but fixing the car cost half of it's value! He was always afraid of car getting fire because of this he never topped the fuel while the car was warm, he was very careful about that but never thought cables can also cause fire in engine compartment.. I think all of you should carry a fire extinguisher in your car, fully insurance it and also be careful where you park your car because especially in underground car parks, rats can enter your car and cause damage to the cables.. This is not a rare thing, if you are lucky your car just won't start or give an error but if not you can see fire coming through behind of the car while going 100mph, stop it but doors won't open! It's better to carry a glass breaker too.. Anyway here is another Lambo burnt just a few days ago! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted June 22, 2010 that sucks but if it starts burning I wouldn't try to put the fire out, no point in risking my life than end up driving around a repaired burnt car . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Report post Posted June 22, 2010 These things burn, there's no way around it. You pack that much potential energy, hundreds of effective HP, into an extremely small tight space, and you have the potential for fire. Ferraris and Lambos have burned for years, obviously. Recently Audi had its own problems with R8-V10 mules catching on fire while testing at the Ring. There is no exception to this rule, though some mfg's seem to have better records with it than others. Porsche comes to mind as a company that seems to have it pretty down as I can't recall the last time we saw a CGT or 997TT erupt into an inferno. For the most part though it's a problem that spans all supercar manufacturers, not just "the Italians". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpegs13 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 "Whenever we see a headline like Lamborghini Murcielago Burns, then we always assume that is down to a fault with the supercar. However, there are reports that the latest Murcielago seen on fire in New York was set on fire deliberately, but was it really arson?" http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/06/22/...fault-or-arson/ Media sensationalizing things AGAIN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
