A Ferrari Enzo has become the latest victim of a recent spate of supercar tragedies after it appeared to spontaneously combust.

These pictures and video show the ultimate Ferrari completely destroyed by fire in British Colombia, Canada.

A member of the ADV Rider forum witnessed the incident and posted his experience online. He said:

‘We rolled past and walked back to the scene. Jodie stopped and asked a man walking along the road if he knew what happened.

‘He said "Yeah a guy was driving his Enzo Ferrari, it caught on fire and he jumped out." Jodie said "We saw that Ferrari drive by us in OK Fall - is the guy OK?" He said "Yeah, I'm the guy!" Then Jodie was struck speechless and said "I'm sorry"’

It’s understand the unlucky driver only had time to jump out of the Enzo with a duffel bag, with everything else just left in the 660bhp motor.

Just 399 Ferrari Enzos were ever built, and this isn’t the first of the 217mph hypercars to head to the supercar scrap yard.

In 2006, an Enzo owned by businessman Stefan Erikson split in half when it was involved in a collision with a lamp post in California. Amazingly, Erikson only suffered a cut lip.

And in 2007, US comedian Eddie Griffin (who?) was filming scenes for the movie Redline (what?) when he stacked an Enzo into a barrier. In one moment Griffin’s fame escalated with the whole incident caught on camera. Incidentally, the film was panned by critics and has an IMDB rating of 3.6/10.

In February 2009, an Enzo belonging to Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay was vandalised by a pastry chef. Aaron Billington, 21, was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison after causing nearly £10,000 damage.

The Enzo fire is the second high profile supercar to go up in flames in as many weeks after a McLaren F1 got all hot under the bonnet in California.

Over the past few weeks a handful of Lamborghini Murcielagos have been written off in dramatic fashion. And a Ferrari F50 being driven by an FBI agent crashed into a tree in Kentucky, USA.

When it was launched in 2002, the Ferrari Enzo had a price-tag of £418,000. However, a quick search of Auto Trader shows three models for sale in the UK with prices ranging from £695,000 to £999,000.
