You could do this with any ICE car.

Hot exhaust and dry plants make fire.

Looks like the brakes might have been what lit the Ferrari off so maybe just don’t drive in ridiculously flammable places like that.

Nope the van’s engine caught fire too while it was parked and idling. Y’all need to learn to watch the video before commenting.

Well duh, the fire jumped from the Ferrari to the van. Fire irl works like it does in the sims.

We first visibly see fire inside the wheel and brakes get hot too. There isn’t enough evidence in the video to make more than a guess but my point was that it’s likely a fire would’ve started even without an ICE.

Vans also have brakes.

I did something like this once. Scrap cars in a field of someone we knew, cut a track into the grass and had a great time. Still have the piston end from a C1.

Watch his other videos. He knew what was going to happen.

Maybe not at that exact moment in that exact way, but that Ferrari was probably never meant to have a long life after he bought it.

I would not think that when someone publishes a video called “I bought a $400,000 Ferrari just to destroy it”

I’ve watched maybe 4 or 5 of his videos. There were a couple with him in a Hellcat with bug wagon wheels on it and I think he had his pickup either wagon wheels as well. But I know he’s known for just trashing stuff. Seems utterly pointless but apparently that’s what his audience wants.

Why would Ferrari even let him buy it? Aren’t they super strict about what you do with them after you buy it?

That was the whole point. He’s challenging Ferrari because they are well known for being litigious against people for using their own vehicles as they please.

I believe he bought it used because there’s no way Ferrari would let him buy new.

There’s some hilarious idiots out there, and with good cameras. I appreciate their effort to entertain.

I’m sure they didn’t think this would happen. But still… It was really dumb

If it didn’t die this way it would have died another equally bad way.

It’s whistlindiesel on YouTube.

I knew who this was as soon as I saw the cornfield. He definitely bought this Ferrari with the intention of thrashing it. I like how the van “accidentally” caught fire too.
