Not really sure of the context, I just stumbled across it searching for something else.

That's funny, it's not even the engine that blows up! The sunroof pops off...

Maybe the guy was playing Michael Bolton on the stereo, and the car couldn't take it and self-combusted...

Does that car have a drivers side wing window in it? I have never seen a 944 with one of those.

That kinda looks like a model car not a real one.

Yeah, the flames look out of scale. Hard to see it's so short.

I love thr choped wing inthe back! Would like to get a side view of that. Looks to also have square exhaust like the "girls getting stuck" car.

Must have an overzealous curb detector thingy. Setting a little too strong... Self destruct if car gets too close to curb.

That's definately not a model, you can see litter blowing out behind the car after the lame explosion. I'm guessing the guys looking out the window are the "assasins" and they supposedly just killed a guy by blowing up his car. Much to the production team's chagrin, the sunroof just pops out and says "Hey LOOK! Nobody is in here!" -And the special effects budget was already spent. I'm sure they could just put the lid back on and light it again, and this time put a manequin in the seat. (at least that is what I would do)

Neat find, Cory!

My vote goes with the Michael Bolton theory.
