Nissan GT-R: Nurburgring Rapid Response Vehicle

When you’ve got thousands of tourists attacking your public race track each year you’re going to run into the odd occasion when someone makes an error. If that error gets serious you’re going to want to be able to get to the scene of an incident quickly. On a 20km circuit like the Nordschliefe this is no job for an ordinary fire truck.

So proving to the world it’s not only one of the worlds fastest production cars ever to lap the ‘Ring, it’s now the most practical after receiving a full “fire engine” conversion.

That’s right, the car is fitted with a fire retardant tank fully consuming the rear passenger area, followed by a functional hose reel and equipment bay in the trunk. The car is also kitted out with a full roll cage and carbon fibre Recaro racing seats for safety. This is no joke!

    What a waste of a perfectly good GT-R.

    And how fast would it go with 50 liters of water in the back (a long with all the pumps and 20m of hose)? On the other hand, I would rather see one of the these coming round the corner than a Radical SR8 and a driver with a water pistol!
