Apparently the very expensive V-12 Lamborghini Aventador is prone to catching fire if you rev the engine. I found videos of them burning up in New Delhi, London, California, and Dubai.
Lambo had to recall them to fix something about the carbon pollution canisters. There are lots and lots of images and videos of this interesting phenomenon.
Sample:

Fire starts about 1:30.
Reminds me a little of the Batmobile exhaust. Oh, and starting up radial engines.
Much of the time, they don't seem to just catch on fire, but burn to the ground in a pile of slag.

Hey, a little Bondo, a couple of cans of Krylon spray paint, some duct tape for the seats....
Video or image search terms: "Lamborghini Fire" and variations of that.

Recent Porsche had that problem...
I THINK the GT4?
Porsche for a time issued a "don't drive your Porsche if you don't like extremely well done you!" warning...

GT3.
Richard Hammond (Top Gear) had one, and his co-hosts showered him with sympathy at his plight.

When I saw this thread I immediately thought of this:

Back when I had my Turbo Pinto (http://herohog.com/images/cars/TurboPinto.mp4), a friend had one of these Pintera front clips to make your Pinto look similar to a Pantera (http://www.classic-car-history.com/classic%20italian%20cars/detomaso%20pantera%20pictures/1974-detomaso-pantera-L.jpg) in the front. I wanted that front clip SO BAD!
