Just done a quick search and no sign of this being posted so far so sorry if a repost.

The article said:
Absolute disaster during a wedding on Saturday in Lyon, France, a new 2013 Audi R8 V10 Spyder caught fire in spectacular fashion.

We assume that the occupants managed to escape the car before the fire caused significant damage and are therefore fine but the same cannot be said for the car which by the end of this video is seriously engulfed in flames.

One can only assume it’s a new rental car, or dealer car as it is on German number plates in France but it can be sure that this is now a write-off. What exactly caused the fire is not known at this stage but it originated from the engine area and presumably now is going to investigated by Audi.
