Is it the first known one to set on fire?

Usually modified exhausts do the trick!

Apparently a 50th anniversary with SV decals, but I remain unconvinced, I reckon it's the 2nd SV roadster delivered.

They are not delivering the roadster yet, and does the sv not have a body coloured splitter bit... So I think this an anni, don't think there is a rear spoiler either... Have wandered why the sv has downward pointing exhaust pipes... Keep flames from harm.

Interesting a video has surfaced of the yellow one ragging around and actually catching fire.

Scarily seems to have caught fire in exactly the same way as the purple in in the video above. Dodgy aftermarkets exhausts? Or bad design?

Don't rev you aventadors to much!

Drive any Lambo, always keep the passenger footwell full of fire extinguishers - indeed any car.

In that video of the yellow SV he did have an extinguisher (see 5:02), but was too late.

His problem was that because of his nobbish behaviour he didn't pay attention to the other drivers shouting at him. Oh well, he lived and learned.

On the yellow SV, if that's an attempt at a private plate, I'd have filled the extinguisher with petrol

Makes you wonder if they did actually put that plate on for that reason!!

I was amazed at how easily it went up, driver was a penis for sitting there just revving it though!

Probably wrong type of fire extinguisher, looks like a lot of water on the ground. You can spray a cheap water extinguisher at a fuel fire as much as you like but it'll just spread the fire. Foam or powder is what you need, preferably foam for a car.
