I drove by this. I saw the car hit the guard rail but I never saw either of the doors open so I was concerned. Fortunately I guess the people bailed and managed to shut the doors and everything turned out alright. Remind me if I have a $115k not to buy one of these.

Interestingly, Jalopnik has a couple entries about R8s catching fire.

Well, that's not a particularly desirable attribute.

I guess it was trying to live up to the reputation of it's Italian half-brother.

$115,000 and they couldn't afford a fire extinguisher?

I wouldn't put it out. i imagine the only thing worse than losing your R8 in a big fire is having it fixed after a small fire
