Such a shame:sad:

Good thing it was on a test drive though.

That must be a fun conversation with the salesman when you get back to the dealership.

"Uh, I don't want it......"

$30,000 Volt catches fire and all hell breaks loose.
A $400,000 Lambo catches fire and people just go 'Oooo, aaaaaah'.

Says the fire started near the left rear wheel,, IIRC isn't that in the same area where the battery is located?

Thats why I was able to be a Lambo for $50... should have checked the carfax.:p

That's a shame it just burnt up like that.

Ferrari and Lamborghini need to get their acts together. I dont know if its just that the fires get more coverage than cheap cars but damn!! It seems like they burn a lot more than standard cars.

For brand new cars to burn up just like that, I can only imagine the nightmares that all the electronics and other little things must bring to the owners. I guess the good thing is these cars are rarely used as DD, so they can spend more time in repairs.

I heard that this car might of had an after-market exhaust on it from another forum...they are guessing that it was the cause...

JessePS 04-18-12 05:22 PM

I wonder if that potential buyer, will be turned off the test drive.

If the LFA caught on fire like some of these other exotics the interents would be roaring how its worse than the worse car on earth.

Damn it hurts to see an exotic like that :(
