Ok, so the video above is only telling the half the story. A quick trip to our page tells the full tale of how this seemingly innocent Lamborghini->ke44 ended up in flames on a bridge in Dubai.

To spoil the plot line, an apparent car connoisseur spotted the Lamborghini Aventador SV and his Ferrari 488 Spider-driving friend hot-rodding thought the crowded city streets and decided to capture the fun on his phone.

The trio of drivers come to a stop in the turning lane at a busy intersection, impeded by a traffic signal. The Ferrari and Lamborghini pass time by revving the snot out of their engines. As the Aventador->ke3624 SV’s 6.5-liter V-12 does on occasion, it started spitting flames from its center-mounted exhaust.

That’s when the naturally occurring Lambo pyrotechnics catch the rear bumper on fire. Yep, the 740-horsepower V-12 set itself ablaze. As the light turns green and despite the honking and hollering from the cameraman, the Lamborghini heads through the intersection – all the time fanning the flames.

It’s not long before the entire car is engulfed in fire. Though the video->ke278 doesn’t exactly specify, it appears everyone involved escaped unharmed. Well, at least one man’s pride is severely bruised.

While it’s easy to make light of such a terrible situation, it goes to show how temperamental these high-strung hypercars->ke177 can be. Let’s just hope he had insurance on this $400,000 bonfire.
