Unhappy Ferrari blowing up in gigantic fireball

Can you guys figure out why this car ignites like it does? We've watched it a few times now and we can't figure it out.

...sorta looks like the contact point between the porche and the ferrari is right at the ferrari's gas tank maybe...could be why it blows up like that...

I am not 100% sure if that was not a Supra but a Ferrari.
Seems like it took place in Japan(SigmaTec and the aftermath with a guy running).
In Japan, Supra is very popular in the track.

I think you're trying to say that it might be a supra (?). Well, its not, its a ferrari. He survived and sued for the poor response time of the emergency crews.

Man that's crazy! How many people can say they survived an explosion while driving a Ferrari?
