Thinking about these hypercars that have to deliver ever-increasing amounts of fuel into cylinders, it's not very surprising that we are seeing this with various different makes and models. Take a 200hp car and a 1000hp car, that 1000hp has to run massive pressure and fuel lines to deliver all that fuel into the cylinders at the rate necessary. It's similar to how you are not necessarily going to have a "safer" car with electrons, you are still storing energy and if the battery is compromised, a fire, just like a fuel fire, can ensue. With the petrol cars, a fitting coming off or failing is going to mean so much damn fuel coming out due to these crazy high HP engines that it's going to go bad real fast. Again, not very surprising. I wonder what kind of fail-safes they have if any, to shut off fuel flow.
