The sad reality is that sometimes supercars (mostly Ferraris) catch fire, but seeing a Porsche 918 Spyder engulfed in flames is a really painful sight.
To our knowledge, this is the first incident of this kind that involves a Porsche 918 Spyder – the fastest, most powerful and most expensive car in the German automaker’s lineup. The incident happened at a gas station from Toronto, Canada, but it is not clear if the source of the fire was the car itself or a malfunction at the pump.
Either way, the car appears to be completely toast. Scroll down to watch a video taken by people who were passing by the gas station as the Porsche 918 Spyder was swallowed by huge flames.
