You can't get out of them - 10 fastest police cars
Content
Police services around the world need fast and powerful vehicles, most often for two reasons. The first is to demonstrate presence and strength to instill respect in criminals, and the second is to participate (if necessary) in highway pursuits.
The British police, for example, use powerful and rare vehicles. Humberside law enforcement has a Lexus IS-F with a 8bhp V415 engine. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, propelling the car from 0 to 100 km / h in 4,7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 270 km / h. However, it won't be on the list as it turns out there are more impressive police cars.
1. Lotus Evora (United Kingdom)
The Sussex Police have a Lotus Evora (pictured) and a Lotus Exige at their disposal. The first has a 280 hp engine, accelerating to 100 km / h in 5,5 seconds. The second power is less - 220 hp, but acceleration is faster - 4,1 seconds, since the Exige is much lighter.
2. Alfa Romeo Giulia QV (Italy)
The Italian police and carabinieri cannot but participate in this ranking. In this case, this is done with the sedan, which is used in the southern part of the country. This is an Alfa Romeo Giulia in the QV version, which means that under the hood is a 2,9-liter V6 from Ferrari that develops 510 hp. With its help, the sedan accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3,9 seconds
3. BMW i8 (Germany)
Until recently, the title of “most dynamic German police vehicle” was held by the 5 BMW M10 (F2021) sedan, which is powered by a 4,4-liter twin-turbo V8. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4,5 seconds, but is inferior to the BMW i8 supercar. The reason is that it is faster – it does 100 km/h from standstill in 4,0 seconds.
4. Tesla Model X (Australia)
Electric cars not only benefit the environment, but also when fugitives are brought to justice. This is how the Australian police explain the presence of an electric crossover in their fleet. Their Tesla Model X develops 570 hp, accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in 3,1 seconds.
5. Lamborghini Huracan (Italy)
The Huracan is not the most powerful Lamborghini in the lineup, and not even the brand's most powerful police car. Such is the 740 hp Aventador that patrols the roads of the UAE. Italy boasts a Huracan that is on duty in Rome and is designed for both road patrols and donor situations where blood or human organs need to be transplanted.
6. Nissan GT-R (USA)
This vehicle bears police insignia and even a license plate and has been seen several times in and around New York. However, it is not part of the patrol service, but was used for special operations and secret investigations. Under its hood is a 3,8-liter V6 engine with 550 hp, which propels the Japanese car to 100 km / h in 2,9 seconds.
7. Ferrari FF (Dubai)
The following cars are very expensive and belong to the police services of the United Arab Emirates, or rather two of them. This Ferrari FF was acquired in 2015 and is used to patrol and chase speed-breakers. It is based on a 5,3-liter V12 engine with 660 hp, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3,7 seconds. The maximum speed is 335 km / h.
8. Aston Martin One 77 (Dubai)
A total of 77 units of this model were produced, one of which became the property of the Dubai Police in 2011 and is still used today. Under the hood of the Aston Martin One is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated engines used in a car. This is a V12 with a volume of 7,3 liters and a capacity of 750 hp. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes 3 seconds and top speed is 255 km / h.
9. Lykan Hypersport (Abu Dhabi)
This is one of the rarest and most expensive cars on the planet. A sports coupe from Lebanon recently served with the Abu Dhabi Police. It is equipped with a 3,8-liter Porsche engine developing 770 hp. and 1000 Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h took 2,8 seconds, and the maximum speed was 385 km / h. However, the most shocking price is 3 million euros, due to the fact that only 7 units of the model will be produced.
10. Bugatti Veyron (Dubai)
This car needs no introduction. Giant 8,0-liter W16 engine with 4 turbines and 1000 hp. it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2,8 seconds and has a top speed of over 400 km / h. For a long time, the Bugatti Veyron was the fastest car in the world, but lost this title. However, the title of "fastest police car" remains.
