Japanese Man’s Decade of Savings Goes Down the Drain As New Ferrari Catches Fire, Burns Completely Hour After Delivery in Tokyo

A Japanese music producer's 10 years of savings went down the drain when his brand-new Ferrari 458 Spider burned completely after catching fire in Tokyo. What makes this story more painful is that the owner, 33-year-old Honkon, took delivery of the luxury car just an hour before the incident on April 16. While he was driving, the Ferrari caught fire on the Shuto Expressway and burned completely. Though the fire was extinguished in 20 minutes, almost the whole car was destroyed, except for a small part of the front bumper. "My Ferrari burned to ashes an hour after delivery. I bet I'm the only one in all of Japan to experience this kind of trouble," Honkon posted on X after the tragedy.
