More than 100 firefighters battled a blaze at the General Motors Advanced Design Studio in California earlier this week, which destroyed at least one priceless concept car and took almost eight hours to extinguish.

The fire, according to US publication Car and Driver , started at 5:50pm local time on Wednesday (October 22), and took around seven-and-a-half hours to be declared officially extinguished.
