That doesn't look like a safety cell to me.

Notable technology includes a pure carbon fiber monocoque and subframe, dry sump lubrication and inboard suspension. The carbon fiber monocoque and subframe were produced and assembled by ATR Composites Group of Italy.

Carbon fiber can be anywhere from 2-5 times stronger than steel. I can't find much on what happens to it in extreme impacts like this though. I was always under the impression that once its structurally compromised, it splinters the fiber strands. Nonetheless, speed had to be a large factor here. Also, there is no fire damage to the hood paint from what I can tell, minimal at best. The majority of that fire had to be from gasoline with how quickly it grew and how large eyewitnesses said it was.
