You will never know what thrill you'll get when taking one out for a drive.

Its actually relatively common for these Lambos and Ferraris to burn. This is not isolated to the 458 sadly enough

What actually cause these cars to catch fire? Exhaust manifolds getting too hot close combustible materials?

<VENOM>

When I worked for Ferrari, the ones I saw with fire damage where always cars that sat for extended periods of time, the car sits for a couple months, maybe even 2 or 3 years, possibly longer, stuff dries out, things go wrong, these are not daily drivers, the correct way to start an exotic, especially garage queens is with the hood open, give it a couple minute, maybe a gentle rev, take it for a spin down the street with a fire extinguisher.

The maintenance on these cars is also specified, if you do not drive to be done, this is the reason why

Whatever, at least other Ferrari just went up in value

These 458's should have been brand new cars, since the model is new to 2010 right? Perhaps they did not do enough testings... ?

That's why a Nissan GTR is better than any Ferrari...

From what I've read, the regular GT-R can get pretty hot too under heavy loads such as 20-30 minutes track use, but nothing like these cars caught fire on public roads. I hope the owners got reimbursed on their purchases.
