No, it hasn't. And after seeing TG on Sunday, what I am now wondering is why are they all catching fire and why are they being allowed to be sold if they are faulty and prone to that.

"They all do that, madam." I suspect the main reason they catch fire is that they're very delicately balanced machines being driven by muppets  |

Is that really it, for real? They are genuinely not technically faulty or anything?

It is something they're prone to if they're not looked after properly. They really are incredibly finely honed, and although different cars will fail for different reasons, they are prone to overheating. If they aren't properly maintained, this can only get worse, and given that the bodies are made of such lightweight materials, when they catch, they really catch. I think part of the problem is that people who know and love cars often can't afford things like this. The people who buy them tend to buy them because they can, but a lot of them thing that because they've spend a six-figure sum on a car, it can't go wrong, or they just don't even think about what's involved in looking after it. They expect to be able to drive however they like... and then BOOM!
The problem isn't confined to Lambos, btw - Ferraris have been known to go much the same way.

It's a shame, that the people who buy them aren't forced to be properly educated about them before they buy them. Thanks for the answer.  |
