Some articles are more enjoyable to write than others, some news is more positive than others, some events are more unusual than others, but what is undeniable is that reporting the fire of a Ferrari in the middle of the street hurts us deeply.

The event took place in Osaka, Japan, this Thursday 5 November, where, at 9:30 local time, near Kyobashi station, a Ferrari F355 began to burn spontaneously in front of the astonished witnesses who saw the incident.

Among them, given the situation we live in, and even more so in a country where technology blends remarkably with tradition, several of them documented the event by capturing the fire of the Ferrari F355 with their mobile phones.

This act of photojournalism, urban journalism or amateur reporting has been shared by several of them on various social networks, among which we have chosen 2 videos uploaded to Twitter, which we include below.

According to witnesses, the vehicle began to burn while it was parked on the road. Apparently, the car’s owner was outside of it at the moment the fire began to spread through the vehicle, so, in addition to escaping unharmed, he had to watch with his own eyes as the fire started consuming his precious Ferrari from the engine bay housing the naturally aspirated V8 engine.

Some of them claim that, before the fire, a previous explosion could be heard. A blast that may have caused the fire and the subsequent burning of an entire brand-new Ferrari F355, a modern classic whose value, despite the difficulties and rising costs of maintaining this car, may, once the causes are clarified, perfectly well be due to deterioration of the vehicle or inadequate maintenance.
