https://art.tn/view/2050/en/8_of_the_coolest_police_cars_in_the_world/
A police fleet that is widely known, we searched for other rad police cars from around the globe. Ranging from a family wagon to a limited-production Lebanese sports car to a Brabus-tuned Mercedes, these are among the coolest police cars to ever exist.
Ford Interceptor
After Ford debuted the second-generation Police Interceptor at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show, the Blue Oval reported that orders came pouring in. The new generation Police Interceptor is crash rated at 75 mph for rear impact and has 17 color options in addition to Vehicle Special Orders (VSO) colors. It features Side Protection and Cabin Enhancement (SPACE) architecture and structural reinforcement to better protect those within its confines.
Spyker Spyder
By far the oddest of the bunch is this quirky two-door convertible Spyker C8 Spyder, which is used by the Dutch police. Beneath the hood, an Audi-sourced 4.2-liter V-8 sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The hand-built sports car makes 400 hp, has a top speed of 186 mph, and can pull off a 0-60-mph run in 4.5 seconds. It also features scissor-style doors. The one-off police car served the province of Flevoland.
Lexus LC500
The Tochigi Prefectural Police of eastern Japan already counts the Nissan GT-R as a member of its patrol car lineup. Now, the Japanese police have expanded their fleet to include a gorgeous Lexus LC500 coupe, given as a donation, to serve in the Mobile Traffic Unit. Updated with a black and white color scheme and red emergency lights, the LC500 is sure to get the job done with its naturally aspirated V-8.
Brabus CLS Rocket
As part of Germany's "Tune It! Safe!" campaign, an initiative that promotes safe tuning, the German Federal Traffic Ministry again teamed up with Brabus on its second project. The beefed-up CLS-Class in German police livery made its debut at the 2006 Essen Motor Show. This blue and silver beauty did not make it into the fleet for official use but still deserves an honorable mention.
Volvo V90
Station wagons still exist in America, and the grooviest in the ever-diminishing stable has to be the Volvo V90. After receiving a high score in a demanding Swedish police car driving test, the Volvo V90 got approval as an emergency vehicle. It achieved a score of 9.2 out of 10, the highest rating by any car tested.The V90 police cars rolled out in early 2017, and the Swedish police were the first to employ them.
Lykan HyperSport
Likely in competition with its UAE neighbors, Abu Dhabi acquired a $3.4 million supercar in mid-2015 to demonstrate that it, too, has high standards for police cars. W Motors, founded in Lebanon, manufactured the limited-production Lykan HyperSport from 2013 to 2017. It was the creation of Lebanese and Italian engineers.
Lamborghini Huracán
We previously covered the second Lamborghini Huracán assigned to highway patrol duty in Bologna, Italy, back in 2017. Mainly operated for emergency medical transport, the 610-hp Huracán in light blue with Italian flag stripes fit the bill perfectly. Take a walk down memory lane and read all about it here.
Porsche Carrera
The Austrian police department received a Porsche 911 Carrera vehicle loan from Porsche in 2017 sporting dark blue, red, and silver as part of a continued partnership with the brand. At the time of the loan, Dr. Helmut Eggert, director of Porsche in Austria, said, "Our partnership with the police force has a long tradition.
