A recent viral clip features a Porsche Taycan electric sports car valued at over Rs 1.67 crore (ex-showroom) bursting into flames. This incident reportedly took place in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, and was recorded on video. It shows the electric sports car ablaze on the side of the road.

He wraps up the video by stating that electric vehicles are experiencing fires with increasing frequency. It is noticeable that there is no one near the car, except for a few bystanders who are positioned across the street. The owner likely abandoned the vehicle after it caught fire.

Reports suggest that the Porsche Taycan in the visuals belongs to Sanskar Daryani, who is a music producer from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Besides the Taycan, he owns multiple high-end sports cars like the Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder, McLaren 570S Spyder, Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder, Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 53, and more.
