Ferrari F40 in Japan Catches Fire

In Japan, a Ferrari F40 caught fire and was damaged. Luckily, the supercar's passengers were able to flee in time.

This video shows firefighters attempting to put out the flames. The vehicle, however, seemed to be totally destroyed by the time the fire department responded to the scene.

This isn't the first time a Ferrari F40 has caught fire. A related car caught fire in Monaco last year. It was later announced that, after the disruption, it was being repaired. As a result, it's possible that the owner of the Japanese F40 will opt to rebuild his car as well.

A 3.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 471 horsepower and 426 pound-feet of torque powers the F40. A 5-speed manual transmission is mated to the engine. Just 1,300 cars were made, and a decent one today sells for about $1.5-2 million.
