Another day, another fire.

Well at least Ferrari will investigate this time.

YouTube - the 10th Ferrari 458 on fire!!!! wow!

"The Ferrari 458 Italia is proving to be a hot commodity - quite literally.

In the past three months, ten vehicles have caught on fire. While six were involved in accidents that could have started the fire, three others have burst into flames for no apparent reason. The tenth vehicle was destroyed in a warehouse fire, but it remains unclear if the car started the blaze.

Speaking with the Telegraph, a Ferrari spokesperson stated "We are taking all the reports very seriously and are looking into them but we are treating them all as separate incidents."

If you're thinking the recent rash of spontaneous combustion will hurt 458 Italia sales, think again. There is currently a three-year waiting list for the 570 PS (562 hp / 419 kW) supercar."

That's why you never buy the first year of production.

The F430 had E-diff problems and one or two other minor glitches on the first year.

+1, its best not to buy the first edition of anything when technology is involved am I the only one that hears Lambo and McLaren laughing?

Even Google thinks it's out of control, so to relieve the paint, I put a picture of a 458 not on fire. Wait, no, it caught on fire as I was saving it.
