Not my car, thankfully. I hope the passengers of this XKR made it to safety before the flames.

The steering wheel without its trim looks very odd, or was that a heated steering wheel?

It looks like either a fuel tank rupture or a battery explosion followed by a fuel tank fire. Could also just be a short somewhere in the rear fuse panel . Don't see any damage from a direct hit to the car. Exhaust tips untouched as well as the front end. Also looks like the doors are OK. Only other thought is someone torched it.

Looks like it will easily buff out.

I guess the heated steering wheel worked too well!
