Do Not Ever Buy A Ferrari 458 - No 3 Burns!!

The Swiss authorities probably watched it burn first with their aversion to fast cars.

It would appear that the new Ferrari 458 is one HOT car.

when i first saw the 458 italia's i really thought they were smokin'. I guess Ferrari wanted to prove the point!

When Sony releases the new Gran Turismo 5, they'd better incorporate this as one of the features on the 458 (the ability to burn itself to a fine crisp), what with it being the Real Driving Simulator and all.

Not a RS4..

Its all that's left of a second 458 that burnt to the ground in France.

I read from the Ferrari people that these photos represent only 2 different fire events; not three. But two is more than enough!

I wonder how long the owners must wait for a replacement, and if they get a loaner 430 while waiting?

It must make all current 458 owners pretty **** nervous when driving.

Anyone else see Jason from Halloween peering out from above the 2:00 position of that wheel? I think we have a suspected vilain.

<corny fire joke> Maybe they will have a fire sale on these and the price will come down on these... </corny fire joke>

Not a great sign, hopefully most owners are keeping an eye on their mirrors and a fire extinguisher in the passenger's seat.

Ferrari should release a special limited edition CD for all the 458 owners:

Disco Inferno
I'm on Fire
Burning Down the House
Smoke on the Water
Hot in the City
