What was meant to be a dream come true quickly turned into a nightmare for one Japanese man, who spent a decade saving to buy his dream car — a Ferrari — only to watch it go up in flames within an hour of delivery.
The unnamed car enthusiast had reportedly dedicated ten years of hard work and saving to afford the luxury Italian sports car. Friends and family had gathered at his home to celebrate the long-awaited moment when the gleaming red Ferrari arrived at his doorstep.
However, just an hour after taking possession of the vehicle, tragedy struck. Witnesses say the car suddenly caught fire while the new owner was taking it for a short drive around his neighborhood. Despite immediate efforts to extinguish the flames, the fire spread rapidly, engulfing the vehicle and leaving it a charred wreck.
Emergency services responded swiftly, and fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire, with early reports suggesting a possible mechanical or electrical fault.
The devastated owner was seen in tears, telling local media, “I worked so hard for this. I can’t believe it’s gone so quickly.”
Ferrari Japan has reportedly reached out to the owner to offer assistance and said they are cooperating fully with the investigation.
