Looks like it might have been Hulk Hogans. His son Nick was behind the wheel when it caught fire.

Wow, That sucks! I would really hate for that to happen! The car basically destroyed itself... Unless someone did something to it.

I found this statement funny:

Bay Harbor Islands police said the driver was a juvenile and the law prohibits the release of his name. However, witnesses said that Linda Bollea, Hogan’s wife, was in the car along with the couple’s 16-year old son, Nick.
his name is on the side as a caption for a picture also, good job on not releasing his name which was mentioned twice in the article

Newspaper just wanted a quick story.

Was Cecile Barker's Lambo (CEO of Brooks Label), Nick was driving it to keep it in running order and it caught fire after a recent repair. None of which was his fault.

Is this for real: "Hogan, his wife, Linda, and teenage daughter and son, Brooke and Nick, recently moved into a $12 million home at 2900 North Bay Rd." They gave out their address? WTF lol

I heard about this story on the radio this morning. Although the female radio dj reporting on it said that it was a "million dollar car."

nope, not hogans

MIAMI - A yellow Lamborghini reportedly owned by Terry G. Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, caught fire Saturday on Bay Harbor Islands. There were no injuries reported.

Information was sketchy about the circumstances leading to Hogan's expensive car catching fire along the 96th Street causeway. The extent of damage to the VT model is unknown.

Bay Harbor Islands police said the driver was a juvenile and the law prohibits the release of his name. It's unclear if the teen is related to Hogan.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials would only say they responded to a car fire on Saturday afternoon, but declined to disclose any other details.

Efforts to reach the Hogan family were unsuccessful.

Hogan, who first gained fame as one of the superstars of professional wrestling, is currently starring in a reality show called Hogan Knows Best based on his family's recent move to Miami Beach.

Hogan, his wife, Linda, and teenage daughter and son, Brooke and Nick, recently moved into a $12 million home at 2900 North Bay Rd.

i drive some of his exotics weekly to keep them running, this lambo hadnt been driven in 3 years so cecile has a guy change the battery and says its fine to drive, so im driving it myself and im head to bal harbor when i noticed the gauge cluster died and im like wtf, and almost seconds after that i smelled electrical fire and by the time i pulled over the back end of car was on fire and i called 911 and tried to find a fire extinguisher but no luck and by the time the fire truck got there the car was totaled

Similiar thing happened to my Uncles SL500, it sat for so long that a fuel seal cracked and when he drove it the leaking gas caused a fire and car went up in flames.

The multi million dollar house is most likely rented for the show

The house that has been seen is their real home, there are videos of it in Supra videos with Hogan taking off in Nicks Supra
