It is reported that yesterday afternoon (June 29th), a yellow Ferrari F8 caught fire on the westbound East Bund direction of Shanghai Beiheng Tunnel, with the rear half of the car burnt beyond recognition.
The media contacted the owner, Mr. Lei, who stated that he had lent the car to a friend, and the accident occurred while the friend's designated driver was returning the car.
"I was at home at the time. My friend called me first to say the radiator had burst, and then after about ten minutes, he told me the car was on fire."
Subsequently, Mr. Lei contacted the designated driver and asked if they had been driving in first gear the whole way, to which the driver replied, "I've been driving at a speed of fifty to sixty kilometers per hour the whole time."
Currently, both the designated driver and Mr. Lei have provided statements, and the fire department has informed them that it will take a month to issue a report on the cause of the fire.
Mr. Lei mentioned that the comprehensive insurance coverage he purchased for the car is over 2 million yuan, while the car cost him 5.2 million yuan when he bought it. The designated driver platform involved allegedly had a "somewhat bad attitude" and "claimed that this incident had nothing to do with them."
