    I'd say it hit the tree in the third picture right by the light pole. It looks to be sitting sideways some.

    Why is it Lamborghini's tend to explode into a ball of flames whenever they crash? Is there a self destruct mechanism?

    All attacks aside, I think it's widely discussed: the tendencies of 355s and the like to spontaneously combust at any given moment or split into a half or so :D

    In the manual it does not say that if I hit a large tree at high velocity that my car will catch on fire, I would take it streight to the service department and complain. Well, maybe not today but as soon as I get out of the hospital.

    Just don't roll a Lambo and have it catch fire, if so be sure and have current dental records available for identification.

    The bottom line is that most cars when crashed hard can and will catch on fire. This will not be as big a problem in the future when all high performance cars follow Audi's lead and use TDI Diesels. In the meantime anyone driving one of these cars should fit a fire system if they wish to continue living after a hard crash.

    I recommend SPA systems and have one in all of my high performance cars.
    If you plan on air shipping one of your cars I recommend their Gas Generation System as it doesn't store PSI and is safe to air ship which the other systems aren't.
