Two men with suspected links to the fatal drive-by shooting outside Prahran nightclub Love Machine set fire to the wrong car in a bungled attempt to burn evidence, police believe.

The blunder means police have seized an intact Suzuki Swift they believe was travelling in a convoy with a stolen black Porsche SUV driven by the suspected gunmen.
