A dramatic fire at the Ferrari-Maserati dealership in Munsterhuis in Holland, saw nearly fifty rare and valuable exotic sportscars literally going up on smoke.
Sunday afternoon saw the prestige dealership, which also includes Jeep and Konigsegg, suffer a fire which quickly took grip.
Fifty six cars out of the total stock of sixty were burnt to a cinder. The majority of them, forty seven in all, were exotic sportscars. Twenty seven Ferraris were destroyed, including it is rumoured two F40's, a 246 Dino, and an Enzo, while ten Maseratis were also fried.
Other prestige sportscars to be destroyed by the fire included two Lamborghini's, a rare Konigsegg, as well as several historic race cars.
A Dutch Fire Brigade spokesperson confirmed that security precautions in place to satisfy the insurance regulations, which saw all the cars locked, prevented the firemen from moving them, and with it the possibility of saving any.
The insurance claim is expected to run into several tens of millions of euros, while it is believed that some of the cars were uninsured due to the high cost.
This is the second major fire to hit Ferrari this year. Back in March a blaze at the Maranello factory destroyed several new prototypes, putting back new model development.
