Absolutely beautiful cars - the shape was actually inspired by the GT40 some say. Unfortunately they do have a penchant for self-immolation, particularly on startup. That one looks like it will buff out just fine - nothing $50K or so won't fix.

I have seen many you tube shots of both Ferrari and Lambos with SEVERE engine fires. Most burned to the ground. Remember Magnetti Morrelli decided to go into the auto electric business by spying on Lucas!!!


With my old Alfa, I learned that if there was the slightest mist in the air, to just pop the hood and spray the entire engine bay with wet start.
