Few sights sting quite like watching high-end machinery reduced to charred metal. That is exactly what unfolded near Chattanooga, Tennessee, when a transporter loaded with exotics caught fire. A pair of C8 Corvettes, two McLaren 720S coupes, and an Audi R8 were among the casualties, gone within minutes.
Incidents like this are a harsh reminder of how fragile even the priciest cars can be. Once flames take hold of a packed carrier, there is little anyone can do but watch dream cars melt away long before they ever reach their owners.
