Another One Bites The Dust-Porsche 918 Goes Up In Flames In Toronto


Another One Bites The Dust-Porsche 918 Goes Up In Flames In Toronto

In the continuing trend of supercar baptism by fire, Porsche has become the latest vetted supercar. This particular 918, the vaunted hybrid-supercar that produces 887 horsepower by using two plug-in hybrid engines as well as a 608hp 4.6L V8, was refueling just north of Toronto when something went really wrong, really fast. Nothing like a fuel fire at a gas station’s pump to instill the fight-or-flight response into someone. While the fire was contained before things got massively worse (read: kaboom!), the Porsche certainly was a done deal, burning to the ground. This video, uploaded to YouTube by David Jenkins, catches the fire as he drives by. His female passenger sounds very unpleased about driving next to a raging inferno at a gas station and we don’t blame her one bit-supercar be damned, get away from the burning gas station!

No word yet from Ferrari or Lamborghini on who will sacrifice the next supercar in the quest to become the best.
