The scrappage program introduced in the UK was intended to boost new car sales while encouraging owners of 10-year old vehicles to buy more fuel-efficient cars.

According to AutoTrader.uk, two Nissan GT-R supercars have been purchased under the new scrappage program. The two buyers rushed into showrooms within five hours of the programs launch time.

Nothing says fuel-efficiency like a 480-hp supercar that goes from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and returns an estimated fuel-economy of 18 mpg.
