LoL... the sad thing is that it's true 
The owner of the car has several other supercars and also owns the only FXX in the Netherlands.

How unfortunate for the car and driver  It seems like this was an accident... and I guess that's more acceptable than a poorly executed publicity stunt (I am NOT referring to Eddie Griffin  )

^ The owner was driving through a local town when he first smelled a scent of gasoline. Not much later, flames were coming out the bonnet and he decided to park the car in the side of the road and call the emergency services. Ferrari already took the car back to Italy to investigate what went wrong, and I heard the owner is already getting a new one..
