Ferrari North Europe has officially explained the fault that has caused five of the very earliest examples of its 458 supercar to catch fire.
"When the car is driven to high exhaust temperatures, in hot ambient temperatures, the adhesive used in the wheelarch assemblies can overheat and allow the rear wheel housing heat shields to move around. In extreme cases, the glue can begin to smoke and even catch fire," a Ferrari spokesperson told Autocar. 2011 Lexus IS Photo Gallery2011 Hyundai Equus Photo Gallery2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS Photo Gallery2011 Ford Edge Crossover Photo GalleryConcours D'Elegance Monterey 2010 Photo GalleryAutoSpies.com Photo GalleriesIf you want to see your photos running on our homepage photo ticker, be sure to upload your photos on the go by sending them to Mobile@AutoSpies.com Share on Facebook
