Unfortunately, Ferraris have quite a bad reputation with bursting into flames seemingly out of nowhere.
Andrew Federici's insight:

Hope the insurance company will cover it.  Why do Ferraris spontaneously burst into flames?

2013 McLaren MP4 - 12C Goes 0 - 60 MPH In 2.8 . . .
Motor Authority
A week ago we saw a video of a McLaren 12C Spider hitting 213 mph, a figure that's 9 mph higher than the car's claimed top speed.
Andrew Federici's insight:

McLaren has proven itself to be the best of the best on the Top Gear track--and its apparently as comfortable to drive as a Rolls Royce according to Jeremy Clarkson.  I've only sat in one in the show room but it's surely my second favorite behind the LaFerrari which just looks stunning.  McLaren has a utilitarian aire about it that ultimately doesn't seduce in quite the way LaFerrari does.

Continuing its series of supercar acquisitions, the Dubai Police have announced that it has added a Bugatti Veyron to its fleet.

Andrew Federici's insight:

OK--this is really crazy.  $1MM police car?  Surely a helicopter is a better bet if you have to chase someone at 257 miles per hour.

 

Do they have to share or does every beat cop get one?

Totally makes sense--because when you're driving a Porsche you can never see the gorgeous shape of it from the outside.  And then its sits all alone in your garage and you can't see it.  I'd park it in my bedroom!
