    world's fastest fire engine

    Never liked the car too much but this is pretty cool.

    World's fastest fire engine

    The world's fastest fire engine - a Nissan GT-R car which can hit 190mph and does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds - has been delivered to the Nurburgring motor racing circuit in Germany.
    The Japanese mean machine has had a full fire-fighting make-over including a huge tank of fire retarding foam and a hose reel where the back seats used to be.

    The Ring's Klaus Hardt says the track needed a fire engine to match the cars that race the track everyday.

    "When your race track is the mecca for petrol heads there's going to be mishaps every now and then and we needed to make sure we don't lose a second getting to them," he said.

    One driver said: "The driver must have every bloke's dream job - a fire fighter that drives a supercar!"

    But Hardt insists the fire engine is for safety, not for fun.

    "Our response time is now under three-and-a-half minutes wherever you are on the track,"

    "That gives our visitors the confidence they need to put in their best times as they know the GT-R will be with them in a flash if the worst happens," he said.

    And now track bosses plan to start a whole fleet of the supersonic fire fighters.

      That is amazing.

      I bet all the extra weight of the foam throws the handling and acceleration off a bit.
