During recent Super GT race we have seen the GT-R being used as the safety car, but the one that you see here was specially re-designed by Nissan for Nurburgring GmbH to provide the fastest possible response to emergency calls at Nurburgring’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 NISSAN GT-R is designed to get to the scene of a blaze in the quickest possible time. In standard road-car form, the Nissan GT-R is capable of lapping the famous Nordschleife in only 7 mins 26 seconds 70*, making it the perfect tool for the Nurburgring’s emergency services. Even with the extra 200kg of fire fighting equipment on board, the Nissan GT-R can still lap the challenging circuit in less than 8 minutes.

The redesigned Nissan GT-R is a gift from Nissan to the Nurburgring operator in thanks for the company’s collaboration in developing the 485PS supercar. The fire-fighting conversion was carried out by M&M Automotive, a Bonn-based specialist for car development and motor sports.

The Nissan GT-R’s two standard backseats were taken out and replaced with a 50-litre water tank, which was secured with a roll cage.

There is a medium-pressure extinguisher system (20 bars) as well as a winding device for the hose. The only other differences between this Nissan GT-R and one straight from the factory is the additional radio communication system, the new Recaro sports seats and the roll bar. With a foam reach of around 18 meters and a 20-metre hose, the unit will be able to fight fire for around two minutes on one tank.
