A speedster and his pal were killed after their vehicle flipped over on the LIE and burst into flames early Saturday, cops said.

The two men were in a 2004 Subaru traveling westbound at 107 miles per hour when the driver, a 30-year-old man, of Jamaica, Queens, lost control of vehicle, smashing into the median where the LIE meets the Van Wyck Expressway, according to police.

The driver and a passenger pal, also 30, of Brooklyn, were pulled from the burning wreck at about 12:45 a.m., according to police.

The driver was pronounced dead at Elmhurst Hospital and his passenger died six minutes later at New York Hospital of Queens at 1:06 a.m., cops said.

Both men were wearing seat belts, cops said.

Their identities are pending proper family notification, cops said.
