P1 on fire! - Video from Andrew Cruze

Rumours suggest the car was leaking fuel that somehow caught fire. The P1 is powered by a 3.8L twin turbo V8, tuned to produce 727BHP, a 0-60MPH time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed limited to 217MPH. Just 375 units were produced, but now it looks like there will be one less in the world!
