I suspect that tight packaging, hot engines and insufficient cooling of not only the engine, but the engine bay are the biggest contributors to supercar fires.
Also, because it comes from Italy

Beautiful and fast but not very reliable

Ah of course as it's from Italy...Toyota being ultra reliable Japanese never had the biggest recall in automotive history with sticking throttles or the British. The British have no major car companies of their own as they produced the most unreliable cars in history. British Leyland a stain on the myth of British engineering. All other British brands are foreign owned and better for it. TVR anyone?. Porsche engines have a small bearing issue on 996 engines and Boxster engines. Please do not bring nationality into it. If you have to at least go after the biggest reliability culprits The Beitish. Theres a reason they have nothing of their own left.
How does this post make any sense at all? You're upset someone made a joke at Italian reliability, you cry about how you shouldn't bring in nationality and then suggest we hang --- on the British. If you're going to be a delicate flower, can you at least cut out the hypocrisy?
