Super Hot and Super Fast Cop Cars in Europe

You can bet that American tuners would love to be stopped
by this fantastic Nissan 350Z loaded with Nismo gadgets.

Volvo’s V70 wagons are known for their durability.
In Canada, police forces in Quebec use them in their fleets.
Here is a V70 cop car from England.


This Porsche 911, modified by German tuner TechArt,
must have convinced a few kids to become cops.

This car isn’t on the road yet but it does exist.
It is the E7 from Carbon Motors, a new company
specializing in police vehicles.

The Mitsubishi EVO X is already a fearsome machine.
Dressed in a British police suit, this is even more intimidating.

The Mercedes CLS is already a heck of a car.
Redesigned by Brabus as a German police car,
it’s equipped with everything for the role.
And with 730 hp, it’s the world’s fastest sedan.

The Honda NSX, as a police car, must be a dream to drive.

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Uncompromising comfort
for the ultimate high-speed chase.

The British sure seem to have variety in their fleets.
This bullet-fast Lotus Exige handles extremely well.

Street patrol in the U.K. isn’t only by way of small cars.
Here is a larger police car the Lexus GS.

Police have to leave their vehicle’s engine running all the time,
and this Toyota Prius hybrid is easy on the environment.

Not only is the Caparo T1 a powerful car, it’s also agile and very rare.
However, this is just a prototype.
Alas, high-speed chase squads take note nothing can escape it!

Italians are passionate people, and so are their cops.
Just look at this Lamborghini Gallardo.

If Chrysler was the biggest police-car maker in the 1970s and ’80s,
the company seems unable to make a comeback in this market,
even though the Dodge Charger is well-suited for the job.

Here is another example of a dragster that can be used on any terrain the Subaru WRX.

German company GeigerCars specializes in the modification
of American dragsters.
A sheriff in American order his own toy: A 700-hp hummer.

For high-speed chases, this one won’t get very far.
But for zigzagging through London’s traffic,
the Smart fortwo is just the ticket.

Australians love big V8 cars.
This Holden VE Commodore is essentially a Pontiac G8,
and it is very popular down under.

As if the basic Gallardo wasn’t enough,
the high-speed chase division of the Italian police force
relies on the LP560-4 version.
