WORLD'S FASTEST FIRE-FIGHTER?

       It has 485 horsepower, four-wheeldrive and a 300kph-plus top speed this has to be one of the world's fastest fire-engines.
       This Nissan GT-R supercar has been modified to hold a 50 litre water tank and two minutes' worth of fire-retarding foam that can be sprayed up to 18 metres.
       Okay, so that tiny fire-fighting power is never going to suffice for any house fire, but that's because it's custombuilt to handle car fires around the infamous Nordschleife circuit of the Nurburgring in Germany.
       It is where thousands of amateur drivers go each week and give it a go in their cars and motorbikes, and where professionals assess the performance of race cars on the 20.8km track with 73 turns.
       Nissan claims that even with the extra 200kg of equipment on board,the car can still lap the circuit within eight minutes, averaging 156kph now, that's still bloody quick.
