Rothmans-sponsored Porsche 961 at Le Mans in 1987. After a crash during lap 199, caused by gear selection problem locking the rear wheels, the car burst into flames and quickly burnt down (video footage of the accident here). The very same car has been restored by Porsche and it can be seen at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart (photo). It also made a run at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2011 (photo). Thanks to shipscompass for the historic photo you see above.
