are you sure this is a backfire?

i just thought it was a bit of unburnt fuel being pumped out.

Doesn't look like flames coming out of the exhaust on that top picture, looks like the car is actually on fire?

So, the OP makes the effort to post some great pics and all you can do it criticise his choice of thread title.

Well the rear end of the car is red - what more do you want - OH! Can we get a video with sound.
Great pictures -
Maybe - "Meine Rückseite ist auf Feuer"

If it was a white car, it would've outrun the flames without much effort.

It looks like the multiple head lights are WHITE - but in further evaluation there had to be a "Ein großes electical kurzes" casue by the additional headlights which caused the alternator to blow resulting in what you see. Where is the engine extinguisher when you need one.

It's not flambe, because flambe requires alcohol for the flame.
