I'm sure the percentage is a lot higher for a Ferrari being destroyed by fire compared to that of Porsche. I'm sure it happens but what car doesn't go up in flames once in a while, but Ferrari seem to go up in flames all the time

Considering the number of Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes in addition to 911s sold in comparison to all Ferraris produced, your statement is obvious.
