That is not correct according to this article:

The fuel tank is situated behind the cabin, between the passengers and the engine.
So in a headon crash (probably the most likely type of accident in a supercar), the heaviest item in the car is going to do its dammdest to maintain its forward momentum. In this case, it happens to be a boiling hot engine. And if this engine can disconnect itself from the supports holding it in place, it will fly forwards crushing the gas tank which is right behind the passenger and driver.
