Default Ferrari 355 GTB V8 Engine Goes Up In Flames


Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn, and cauldron bubble… burn Ferrari burn! We don’t know if Shakespeare's Weird Sisters had anything to do with it, but a scene like this truly breaks our heart. According to the guys at Diariomotor, the above Ferrari 355 GTB had an engine failure that set it on fire while circulating at the “Avenida General de la Paz” in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Looks like they were able to extinguish it quickly. Not a lot of obvious, visible damage. (phew!)

Dibs on the shell...

That sucks though... that's one of my biggest fears while driving. Fires move so fast and they are very unpredictable. I'm surprised that it didn't burn to the ground.
