In Tokyo, 33-year-old Japanese music producer Honkon was only able to use his Ferrari 458 Spider, worth 8 million TL, which he purchased with money he saved over 10 years, for just one hour. The vehicle suddenly caught fire while he was driving. Although Honkon managed to pull the car over to the side of the road, it was engulfed in flames shortly thereafter. The fire was extinguished after 20 minutes of efforts by the fire department.

In an incident that took place in Tokyo, a 33-year-old Japanese music producer named Honkon saw his dreams go up in flames when the Ferrari 458 Spider he purchased with money he saved for 10 years turned into a fireball just one hour after leaving the dealership.
The luxury Italian sports car, valued at approximately 8 million TL, suddenly began to emit white smoke while driving in Tokyo's Minato district. Noticing the situation, Honkon immediately pulled the vehicle to the side of the road, but shortly after, the car was engulfed in flames.
The unfortunate car owner, who shared his terrifying moments on social media, said, "I was really scared that the car would explode. I think I am the only person in Japan to experience something like this."
Other drivers and pedestrians passing by the scene watched in shock as the white Ferrari burned. Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire in about 20 minutes. Fortunately, neither Honkon nor anyone else was injured in the incident.
Such luxury car fires are not only seen in Japan but also in various parts of the world. Last January, a newly purchased Lamborghini worth 300,000 pounds (approximately 11 million TL) caught fire in a similar manner on Baker Street, one of London's busiest streets, and continued to burn until a pedestrian carrying a fire extinguisher intervened, all while many onlookers watched in astonishment.
Experts state that such fires in high-performance sports cars are often caused by electrical systems in the engine compartment or overheating.
