Do you know what it takes to catch a criminal? A fast police car, that’s what! Remember being a kid and playing around with those remote-controlled, battery-operated cop car toysthat light up and sound off a cute little siren? Well, modern police vehicles are a world away from what they used to be. And rightly so, since criminals are getting faster and smarter! Here are some serious toys for boys who love to speed down the highway at the speed of light. These cars seem to have been specifically made for engaging in legendary car chases – truly, they are the stuff that car movies are made of. In fact, it might seriously be worth a career change so as to realize the dream of driving one of these speed sleek machines, on a daily basis.
10. Corvette C7 (Germany)- 181 mph 291 kmh $70,000.
Unveiled at the Essen 2015 Motor show, this car is all about performance and style. The German Federal Ministry of Transport and the Association of Automobile Tuners built this one-off Corvette for German Police. The car features a sleek carbon fiber body which includes a front lip spoiler, side skirts, extended front and rearwheel fenders as well as a rear spoiler. Kitted with General Motors’ new 6.2-liter V8 engine, this vehicle can clock more than 460hp power and 464 lb-ft of torque. The C7’s seven-speed automatic transmission will allow cops in Germany to go from zero to 62mph in just over 4 seconds, reaching its top speed of 180 Mph.
9. Nissan GTR (UAE) – 196 mph / 315 kmh $100,000.
The Dubai Police have an impressive stable of law enforcement vehicles, which includes the number nine car on our list – the Nissan GT-R. Outrunning the Police in this Emirati state is no mean feat. This 2-door 2+2 sports car was unveiled by Nissan, in 2007. It is a four-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine and feature’s Nissan’s signature four round tail lights. The car looks great, painted in the colours of the United Arab Emirates’ flag and it is entirely standard apart from the addition of a siren system. This gives the Dubai Police an added edge in tackling crime, the fast way, with a 478bhp at 6400rpm, 434lb ft of torque at 3200 rpm and the ability to go from zero to 60mph, in just under 4 seconds – 3.8 seconds, if you’re counting!
8. Porsche 911 (Australia) 186 mph / 289 kmh- $110,000.
Despite being kitted with red and blue LED roof lights and painted with Police signage, the sleek profile and structural curves of this unique car are unmistakable. The New South Wales Police has taken delivery of a brand-new Porsche 911 to assist them with their crime-fighting endeavours. While the legendary car goes from zero to 100 kmh in 4.8 seconds the main aim behind including this car in the NSW’s list of Police vehicles was not to chase after criminals along the highways down under. Rather, the Police thought that it would help build community relations with disadvantaged youths. In fact, the custom Police decals on the car were designed by students hailing from the area. The car is more of a publicity stunt and is expected to attend a large number of local events, where police officers will be able to interact with the public.
7. Audi R8 GTR (Germany) – 202 mph / 325 kmh $200,000.
Trust the German Police to have their very own super stealthy police car. Known as the PolizeiFahrzeug, the vehicle is based on the ABT Audi R8 GTR and is part of the German Tune it! Safe! campaign promoting, safe and serious car tuning. This high performance police car has been upgraded with a 640hp engine tune, 19-inch alloys, carbon ceramic brakes, sport exhaust and suspensions as well as a carbon-fiber aerodynamics kit and a roll bar. This German Police Audi features Polizei-spec paint scheme and official décor, in addition to Hella RTK-7 police roof lights. Not at all a car you’d want to try and outrun!
6. Lamborghini Huracan (Gallardo) (Italy) 203 mph / 326kmh $250,000.
Lamborghini generously donated two specially-modified Huracan LP 610-4 sports cars to Italy’s State Police. One can be seen patrolling the streets of the Italian capital Rome, and the other in Bologna. The Lamborghini Huracan was unveiled in the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and is the successor to the Gallardo. This stunning super-cop-car boasts a top speed of 325km/h (202mph) and has been equipped with the latest technology. The car incorporates a gun holster, radar and radio equipment, and a video-recording system, as well as a sealed refrigerated compartment in the trunk for transporting organs. A defibrillator is also available on board. Motorists’ legal infractions can be reviewed on a removable screen, which includes data overlay. The Italian State Police plans to put the car to good use in enhancing street security and fighting crime.
5. Ferrari FF (UAE) – 208 mph / 334 kmh $300,000.
Despite the green and white Emirati Police livery and the police lights on the roof, you can still tell that this is one of the most prestigious sports cars of the world. The United Arab Emirates has added this supercar to its stunning fleet of luxury police cars. The Italian-made Ferrari FF, has a V12 engine, which enables it to go from zero to 100kph in no more than 3.7 seconds. To make the backstory to this Ferrari police car, even more interesting, the Emirati Police have specified that they will only be driven by female police officers to patrol the busy tourist areas of the capital Dubai.
4. Lamborghini Aventador (UAE)- 217 mph / 349 kmh $450,000 USD.
In 2013, the Emirati state of Dubai’s added the Lamborghini Aventador to its fleet of law enforcement vehicles, to the envy of all sports car enthusiasts around the globe. Some have indeed commented that this is a deliberate gesture to confirm the emirate’s opulence and economic strength. On the other hand, the Emirates is known to be home to a number of high-wealth individuals, who typically have fast and expensive cars. So the law in Dubai may need to keep up with some pretty fast and flashy motor enthusiasts. The Aventador boasts a V12 engine, a maximum speed of 217mph and an acceleration which goes from zero to 60mph in a mere 2.9 seconds The car is however, used mostly as a PR and marketing prop, rather than a standard patrol car.
3. Bugatti Veyron (UAE) -253 mph / 407 kmh $1.6 Million.
One of the latest supercars to join the Dubai’s fleet of law enforcement vehicles is the Bugatti Veyron. This news really made the headlines in the Emirates, as well as all over the world, since the Veyron can reach up to 430 kph making it the fastest street-legal car in the world and certainly the fastest in the Dubai Police’s fleet. While the car retains a smooth, modern and elegant appearance, it houses a monstrous quad turbo, 16-cylinder engine, which enables it to produce over 1,000 horsepower and at $1.6 million apiece it has a price tag to match its power. The car, which is one of the most recognizable in the world, can accelerate to 100kph in a flash of 2.7 seconds.
2. Aston Martin One-77 (UAE) – 221 mph / 356 kmh $1.8 million USD.
The Emirati Police get a touch of Bond style, with an Aston Martin One-77 being added to their fleet of vehicles. The One-77 is aptly names for only having a limited run of 77 cars, each going for a cool $1.8 million. The super car boasts a carbon fiber-body with a top speed of 220 mph. The elegant sleek and powerful car is being used mainly as a deterrent for anyone foolish enough to even think of breaking the speed-limit. The Emirati Police’s One-77 will also be used as a PR prop, to promote tourism to Dubai.
1.And our favourite, LykanHyperSport (UAE)- 248 mph / 400km $3.4 Million.
By now you’ve gathered that the fleet of law enforcement vehicles in the Emirates is nothing short of jaw-dropping, record-breaking and show-stopping. Luxurious, exotic and impressive – the Emirates have spared no expense in flaunting their wealth. More so, anyone thinking of pulling a fast one on the Police there, is simply delusional. The wealthiest Police garage of the Middle East must be that of Abu Dhabi which already owned a Ferrari FF, a BMW M6 GranCoupe, a Bugatti Veyron, an Aston Martin One-77, a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8, as well as a Lamborghini Gallardo. However, they now also have one of the exclusive seven 770-horsepower LykanHyperSport cars. The ticket on this one rings to the tune of a whopping $3.4 million. The Lykan can go from zero to 100 km in 2.8 seconds. Impressive in looks and performance, this super car was featured as one of the leading cars in Fast and Furious 7.
