A Ferrari sports car went up in flames in southern Israel Friday, snarling traffic on one of the country's main highways.
Firefighters from Ashkelon extinguished the burning vehicle on Route 6 near the town of Kiryat Gat, a spokesman for the Israel Fire and Rescue Services' southern district said. No one was injured.
It was not immediately clear what caused the Ferrari to catch fire.
As firefighters extinguished the blaze, the northbound lane of Route 6 was briefly blocked, while heavy traffic was recorded heading south as curious passersby slowed to catch a glimpse of the burning sports car.
The car was a Ferrari 458 model from 2012, according to Ynet, and was estimated to have cost some $215,000.
