This car is NOT a Ferrari... (FR-S/BRZ burning up on side of road)

Just saw this on Facebook. Can't tell if it's an FR-S or BRZ due to all the flames. Hope this isn't anybody on here. But if it was, does anybody know the story as to what happened?

Recall time?
Seriously though, wonder if the owner's a member here. Perhaps can tell us the story.

It's probably a BRZ and found out about the turbo BRZ that's coming out soon.

I don't want to incriminate anyone here, but rumor has it that this was the test mule for a certain e85 kit.

The angle of the car indicates that it rear-ended something else - likely, but dunno.

Irrespective, it's somebody's worst nightmare that's happened to them, and most of the a-holes posting above think that it OK to joke about that.

Well, I don't think it's OK. Shame on you.

I hope the occupants made it out in one piece, and that their insurance pays out.

And even though you guys joke about it, I really hope it never happens to you...

No, his front tires melted and possibly suspension collapsed. But he looks lowered so maybe he already had a rake.

Black smoke matches well with 'Raven'. Imagine how hard blue smoke would have been with Ultramarine or something.
