Yes, I don't have a Ferrari because of the burning issues, not because I couldn't afford one...

FERRARI today recalled over 200million worth of its latest supercar over a design fault which can set them on fire.


Quote

Ferrari engineers have now identified a fault in the rear wheel arch which is fitted with an adhesive that is prone to melting.

The fault causes the aluminium bodywork to sag onto the exhaust where it can get overheated and ignite.

I did mean real world cars, not 320k hyper cars

Anyway, if I had 320k I wouldn't buy one. I'd get a 911 Turbo then do something else with the massive wad of change
