This is a very sad thing to see, the supercar "Enzo" made by Ferrari has caught on fire. The high performance and extreme temperatures combined with high pressure fuel systems can be a pretty nasty scenario if there is a leak. Just because something is more expensive, doesn't always indicate better craftsmanship. It is a shame to see one of the most rare Ferrari's ever produced catch on fire and burn to the frame.

Fires like this can be prevented using special automotive fire extinguishing systems. These systems feature a system that is setup to extinguish fire through a reservoir tank, electronic valves, and braided steel lines. The nozzles are typically pointed around the fuel rails and hot exhaust points because these are the most typical places to find fire. In some applications where nitrous oxide is being used, the nozzles and system will integrate into the trunk as well.

Tips for avoiding vehicle fires!
Modifying vehicles can lead to fire very quickly. Turbocharged and supercharged vehicles are susceptible to fire because of the high amounts of fuel pressure plus extreme temperatures generated by compressing air. When modifying a vehicle, make sure you replace all gaskets and perform a series of test runs before running the vehicle at full capacity. Doing this will help reduce the chance of engine fire. You do not want any fuel leaks, not even a drip! This is why you see fire extinguishers on the typical high performance vehicles. High performance means high heat! Keep it cool!
