Nissan GT-R Takes Up Role as Emergency Response Vehicle




The ultimate fire-fighting vehicle is ready for the ’ring. Nissan has today presented a specially redesigned GT-R to Nürburgring GmbH, providing the fastest possible response to emergency calls at Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit.

Equipped with a fire extinguishing system with water and foam on board attached to a hose pipe accessed via the sizeable boot, this GT-R is designed to get to the scene of a blaze in the quickest possible time. In standard road-car form, the GT-R is capable of lapping the famous Nordschleife in only 7 mins 26 seconds 70*, making it the perfect tool for the Nürburgring’s emergency services. Even with the extra 200kg of fire fighting equipment on board, the GT-R can still lap the challenging circuit in less than 8 minutes.
