Ferrari recalled the entire £212million fleet of its new car yesterday - over a design blunder that makes it explode in flames.

Five of the £170,000 458 Italia luxury cars have caught fire since the model's spring launch.

Now bosses at Ferrari HQ near Bologna, Italy, have told owners of all 1,248 worldwide - including rock legend Eric Clapton and DJ Chris Evans - to urgently return the motors.
