A Ferrari F430 burned to the ground while refueling in the United States, which was completely engulfed in flames by the time the firefighters arrived. The cause of the car fire is still unclear, but since the flames were contained in time, no one was injured. Along with the Ferrari, the well post next to it also burned down, and the top of the filling station was also damaged.
There are many theories about what may have led to the demise of the mid-engined Ferrari. The truth also includes – like that a Road & Track pointed out – that previously 1,950 F430 Spiders manufactured between 2005 and 2007 were recalled, as fluid leaking from hydraulic hoses that break due to the heat coming from the engine can cause a fire.

However, the instance that caught fire in the current case was a coupe, so it is brand-specific on forums they also do not rule out that the fire was caused by a manufacturing error or the aging of the fuel manifolds and lines.
The F430 appeared in the Ferrari range as a forerunner of the legendary 458. At the 2004 Paris Motor Show, the Berlinetta and Spider two-door sports car, designed jointly by Frank Stephenson and the Pininfarina team, were presented. It was recognized as an improved version of the Ferrari 360, equipped with a 4.3-liter V8 powertrain, which was also equipped with a six-speed manual and semi-automatic gearbox inspired by Formula 1.

The output of the F430 produced until 2009 is 490 horsepower, which is delivered at 8,500 revolutions, coupled with a maximum torque of 465 Nm, which is available at 5,250 revolutions per minute. It accelerates from 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds, and its top speed is 316 km/h. Now there is one less of it.
