"Fire officials said the car is only one of two of its kind in the United States and that the car was valued at $140,000, with options"

He won the money last year.

I bet Mr. Patel didn't realize that the engine was in the rear and decided to put his groceries in there....thus the fire. [>_<]

you can clearly see the quad tips in one of the pics....and it has standard 4.2 wheels. The only way that thing is two of a kind is if its one of the VF/PES/MTM supercharged versions......and in that case it probably makes sense that it caught on fire.
