Default Burned up Turbo IS300

Here is my friend's clean 400 WHP Turbo IS300.

He was driving down the street and caught fire under the hood.
His down pipe got so hot boiled the brake fluid and battery caught fire.
He had no brake pressure so he had to use ebrake to stop his IS300 and put out the fire with water.
He was really lucky!
