Lexus LF-A

And by that misleading headline we mean it catches on fire! What happened? Dunno, probably flaming brakes igniting a fuel line. Or a fuel leak on/around the exhaust pipe. Hey, the LF-A’s a prototype after all, and 24 hour endurance races are the cruelest thing you can do to a car. Well, the cruelest thing you can do save for the Nurburgring 24 Hour, which is what Lexus did to two of their 500 hp, V10-engined, 205 mph beasts. This car (#15) caught fire two hours from the checkered flag. The other LF-A (#14) finished 87th. Jump for video.
