The text is in german but translates roughly as: -

On the A4 with Dresden a Ferrari is come up in flames. According to police the Ferrari had GTB Fiorano probably because of a technical defect at the Monday afternoon between the connection points Dresden Hellerau and Dresden airport fire and was completely burned out and. It is to have concerned a work-new vehicle. The driver gets off the fright, because of the deletion and salvage work forms a kilometer-long back-up. The damage, more than 250,000 euro.













Just goes to show perhaps Pentagrams are bad luck after all.

Good grief, it wasn't even in an accident by the looks of things. I wonder what caused it.

So when such a brand new car bursts into flames is that an insurance claim or a warranty one?

I guess Ferrari would aploigise and just give you a new one...

They repaired an Enzo apparently (worse than this, the one that Gizmondo bloke crashed) at a cost of $300,000

The so-called $300K Enzo was a quote to re-build after that almighty crash in the USA.

Wouldn't this be a Ferrari test or dealer car? In which case Ferrari would just take the hit. I didn't think customer deliveries were starting until 2007?
