What you see here may be one of the coolest, most practical, and fastest firefighting vehicles in the world. Yes, you read that right. This 2010 Nissan GT-R is a certified fire truck -- aka Rapid Response Vehicle -- was designed to extinguish accident-related fires at the world famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany.

Why a GT-R? We say, "Why not?" If you consider the sheer size of the 12.5-mile track and associated racing venues, combined with the GT-R's generous passenger compartment size and impressive performance, it starts to make sense. The fire truck dressed as a supercar is more than just a publicity stunt and allows first response safety crews to get to a burning vehicle with both speed and safety.
Behind the twin Recaro carbon fiber buckets resides a full fire suppression system with hose reel and a full roll cage. A special paint scheme and light bar ensure that drivers know this is something different than a standard GT-R rolling out of the local Nissan garage.
We think this firefighting Nissan GT-R would make an ideal addition to a public safety force where police drove a combination of Lexus IS-Fs, Mitsubishi Evos, and Lamborghini Gallardos.
Now, what would EMT/ambulance personnel drive?

I saw one on the highway and let me just say I just followed close until I had to take my exit.
Looks amazing while in motion!
I saw 2 of them at IA and one of the guys almost put it into a wall on the road coarse!

that's about useless cause without a water supply you can't use it. SINCE NO TANK ON BOARD. so if you're not close to a plug(hydrant) with that "fire truck" you can't use it.
typical city fire truck depending on the rig have 500 or 750 gallons of water on board. out here our first out engine has 1500 gallons. you can drain a tank with just one line pulled off. 2.5 minutes on a 500 gallon tank.
about 3.25 minutes on a 750 gallon tank. the purpose of the tank is 2 things:
#1. you get to the fire you can prime your pump and start flowing water before you hook to the plug(hydrant)
#2. if your running out of water (which if you got a 1500-2500 gallon pump you'll out run your water source) it gives your firefighters inside a little bit of time to get out.
I thought we were bad our newest first out engine attack engine was 440,000 dollars(that was 2-3 years ago) Smeal Metro FF chassis 1500 GPM with a 1500 gallon tank.
our grass truck engine was around 250,000 without gear on it.(2009 Chevy 4500,4x4 ,Duramax,4 door) made by Smeal

hahaah dude you think they're using water to suppress the fire? HAHAHA this shit's my major, there's no doubt they're using a dry chemical or foam to suppress it. No doubt it'ts at least CO2, which would easily put out the liquid fire that is a gas car fire. The tank on the GT-R is small, but it doesn't have to be huge to be effective.
hell on our new Pumper/Tanker with 1500 gallon it "auto-blends" its only 25 gallon on our CAFS.
in matters, to be huge tank. I've dumped 3000 gallons of water on a fully going car fire. bale on the pipe(nozzle) was open for about 15 minutes. we emptied our engine and 1/2 of our tanker.
when we roll up to a fire usually we have 10,000 gallons MINIUMUM to knock out a fire.

Exactly. I believe our FD folks on this forum who state what the chemicals and water can do, but what is in this car may be just enough to suppress the flames to get the driver out.
