Ferrari F430 Burns!!! Factory Defect?
Taken at the South Luzon Tollway, Philippines. Car was running at a low speed and suddenly fire broke out! Are their other cases in the world of F430 bursting to flames?

maybe it had a coolant leak...and as usual 99% of people driving these cars dont know **** about cars...so engine temperature could be climbing and the driver was not paying attention....it could happen to any car Ferrari or a Honda...not flushing your coolant and keeping it for too long with extreme seasonal temp change would definately clog your radiator no problem.

It could be a simple maintenance issue that turned very bad...it could happen...Ferrari's could still be great cars

like the boxster owner who was smoking and flicked his smoke out the side of the car. It was sucked in through the intake and set the car on fire. Needless to say the Porsche owner got a new boxster at no extra cost
