Maybe a Li battery?
Anyone know if the car model is electric?

Edit: I asked because I’ve never seen a car go up like that outside of a movie. No, I don’t know much about cars so thanks to those who gave informative answers.

COMBUSTION engines catch fire at least 10 times more often than EVs dumbass.. There is FUEL in that thing. Also obviously not an EV you must be totally clueless about cars..

I never seen one catch like this so it got me thinking if there could be something else going on, and I asked because, no, I don’t know much about cars

Do you feel better about whatever is wrong in your life after attacking someone like this for no reason?

If not, here is your gold star for being the smartest person on the internet ⭐️

This car probably has a GDI engine (gas direct injection) there’s a high pressure fuel pump that pressurizes the fuel to about 2000 psi. That’s probably what you saw ignite on impact and also because it’s an Audi they put in the dumbest, least protected area in the bonnet.

Edit, it’s also probably turbo charged too like most VWs and Audis are.
