Got panicked, but eventually the car limped to a stop safely on the side of the road.. Tried restarting it and it was back to normal...

I wonder what made the Zs' engine died unpredictably? Any ideas guys? was it because i put the gear on neutral too soon after aggressive revs?? sudden drop of heat to the engine oil perhaps? i dunno?? Please advice.... Thanks....
