Reportedly filmed from specially drilled out BMW engines, this clip contains no computer generated graphics.
From Autoblog comes the details:
They had three complete engines shipped out to Belgium, where manifolds were cut, cylinders were shaved and lighting holes were drilled to mount special cameras, lenses and lights. After two weeks of intensive study and preparation, the team took another four, 20-hour days to film what happens inside the 420 hp mill during a single revolution. The completed spot was filmed at 10,000 frames-per-second and doesn’t utilize any form of computer-generated effects.

My first thought: I don’t believe gasoline explodes that way. It’s cool, and may not use computer generated effects, but I think it was tweaked to get the flame right.
