Now we&#8217;re guessing here, but we would think that if the dealer could save any one vehicle from the fire, they&#8217;d pick the nearly $90,000 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/gtr\">silver GT-R<\/a>. Too bad they apparently didn&#8217;t have time to make the decision.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n<\/em>The<em> Gainesville Sun<\/em> reports that the GT-R was engulfed in flames when police and fire arrived at the dealership a little while after it closed, burning up much of the vehicle&#8217;s exterior. The last person to exit the building was the security guard, who did a quick check of the showroom and locked up. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they had to bust down a door to enter the building, and when they got inside, the GT-R was being served flamb&eacute;-style. <\/p>\n<p>Firefighters don&#8217;t know exactly how or why the GT-R burst into flames. Reports suggest that there was a light that dropped to the ground, and that light could have started the fire, or it could have dropped as a result of the fire. We don&#8217;t have any idea what happened to the GT-R, or whether or not it was even driven that day, but you can head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gainesville.com\/article\/20100524\/ARTICLES\/100529757\/1105\/NEWS?Title=Update-Car-locked-inside-Nissan-showroom-catches-fire&amp;tc=ar\">Gainesville.com<\/a> for more details and to see a picture of the carnage. <em>Thanks for the tip, Justin!<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gainesville.com\/article\/20100524\/ARTICLES\/100529757\/1105\/NEWS?Title=Update-Car-locked-inside-Nissan-showroom-catches-fire&amp;tc=ar\">Gainesville Sun<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/25\/report-nissan-gt-r-goes-up-in-flames-while-parked-in-locked-sho\/\">Report: Nissan GT-R goes up in flames while parked in locked showroom<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 25 May 2010 11:20:00 EST.
