The police car of every country or region may not be the same. Almost every country has more than one police car. Even in regions reserved for states such as the USA, vehicles specific to different states can be used. However, some countries have turned police cars into showpieces.
We’ve all tried at least once to turn our car into a police car in games like Need for Speed. The cars you will see shortly have made our dreams come true. Moreover, these vehicles are not from any game; real police cars from real life. Let’s take a look at the beautiful cars used by the local police of the countries.
US police get into Ford Mustang GT, fulfilling the dream of many of us.
Mustang, one of the most charismatic series produced by Ford for many years, has a model used by the police in the USA. Used by the police force, the Ford Mustang GT has enormous power under its hood, as we all expect.
Reaching 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 4 seconds, the Mustang GT has an 825 horsepower V8 engine. Of course, thanks to this power it has, it can easily catch many cars used throughout the country.
The Chevrolet Camaro SS, the car version of charismaticism, is just one of the legendary cars that the Dubai police ride.
It’s certain that even people who don’t like cars can’t say “No” to a Camaro. If you’re a cop in Dubai, at worst, you own a Camaro. We say worst case because the use of supercars in Dubai is quite common among both the police and civilian population.
With its 455 horsepower V8 engine, the Camaro SS can reach 0 to 100 in 4.3 seconds in as little as 4 seconds. Still, this is average power compared to many supercars across the country.
Dubai police also have this Lamborghini Aventador with a v12 engine.
We have already mentioned the passion for luxury cars in Dubai. Lamborghini Aventador is also one of the luxury cars used by the police force. The police car, which reaches 0 to 100 in about 2.9 seconds with its V12 engine, also has 700 horsepower.
Lamborghini Aventador and Camaro SS, as well as other vehicles used as police cars throughout the country; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Bentley Continental GT, Bugatti Veyron, McLaren MP4-12C and Audi R8.
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is putting on a show with the Lykan Hypersport police car.
In addition to Dubai, which is located in the United Arab Emirates, the Abu Dhabi police force also has many luxury cars. The most striking of these is undoubtedly Lykan Hypersport, which shows up on the streets with a police seriousness.
Maintaining its seriousness with its power as well as its appearance, the vehicle can reach 0 to 100 in 2.8 seconds with its 770 horsepower engine. In other words, it can literally make the asphalt cry.
In Australia, there is a GLE Coupe on loan from Mercedes.
The GLE Coupe, loaned by Mercedes to the police force, is a very powerful vehicle, although it doesn’t show much from the outside. Under the hood of the GLE Coupe, which looks like a complete family car, is a 577 horsepower V8 engine.
We can say that it makes patrolling the streets quite easy with its driving support and superior performance against rough roads. Moreover, this police car served another good cause for the country and became part of a campaign to improve road safety.
One of Portugal’s coolest police cars is the Audi R8.
Used by police teams in Portugal, the Audi R8 impresses with its design and power.
In addition to having a 540 horsepower V10 engine, it can reach 0 to 100 in less than 4 seconds. So it’s an invaluable boon for chasing a criminal.
Don’t you think the Nissan GT-R R35, which Japan uses as a police car, is very cool?
Nor is the R35 the first cool police car used in Japan; A sub-model of Nissan, the R34 was another police car that had patrolled the country for years. This new beast has replaced the R34 for about 3 years.
With the reinforcement made for the R-35 to be used as a police car, it was provided to go from 0 to 100 in less than 3 seconds. With its 570 horsepower engine, it is 2-3 times more powerful than many cars used daily.
Is this a police car? England made it, Ariel Atom became a police car.
We know it looks weird from the outside, but there’s an interesting reason why Britain turned an Ariel Atom into a police car. As the number of motorcyclists in traffic increased, Ariel Atom began to be used as an awareness campaign about speed limits.
Although it is used for both demonstration and service purposes, the Ariel Atom is a very difficult vehicle to drive. Although it looks like a go-kart car, it has a total of 230 horsepower. Moreover, it attracts great attention throughout the country.
Another apple of the eye of England is Lotus Evora.
This car, which belongs to the British police force, was initially seen as a ‘waste of money’ and drew quite a reaction. However, later on, the truth of the incident was revealed by the organization. The Lotus Evora is a gift from the UK branch of Lotus on loan to the police force. In a short time, we may see that Lotus wants its vehicle back from the agency.
Still, we have to say that this ‘little’ gift on loan was intimidating. Lotus Evora can reach a speed of approximately 290 km/h with its 280 horsepower v6 engine. So it could be one of the last police cars you want to come after you. The police, on the other hand, are currently using this tool only to raise public awareness of safety and increase participation at events open to the public.
Switzerland, on the other hand, prefers a more environmentally friendly police car with the electric Hyundai Kona.
In these days, when global warming is starting to show itself, the demand for electric vehicles has increased considerably. When this is the case, states have started to turn to electric in public vehicles.
We have started to see examples of this situation in our country as well. However, Switzerland was one of the first countries to opt for electric in their police cars. Although Hyundai Kona is electric, it is also quite successful in terms of power. The vehicle, which has a driving range of 484 km, can reach 0 to 100 in 9.9 seconds.
Lamborghini’s legendary model Huracan is a police car in Italy…
While we can’t imagine such a car patrolling the street, that doesn’t change the fact that the Lamborghini Huracan has been turned into a police car. Before this vehicle, the Italian police force had Gallardo, a model of Lamborghini.
Similar to the Gallardo, the Huracan also used a V10 engine. However, there are also minor changes made between the two models. Of course, since the Huracan is a newer model, we can say that it is a bit more powerful than the Gallardo. Going from 0 to 100 km in about 3.2 seconds, the Huracan is one of the most monstrous police cars.
Germany’s Brabus CLS Rocket V12 S is a beast!
Another police car that we are not used to seeing on the roads is the Brabus, which is actively used by the German police. With its V12 engine, it is one of the most powerful police cars on our list.
In addition to the fact that the V12 engine of the vehicle has a full 730 horsepower, the maximum speed limit is 362 km / h. If you encounter this car on the road, you will have limited time to inspect it. Because it can go from 0 to 100 in 3.9 seconds.
It may be a little difficult to catch suspects in this tiny police car, but Greek police are functionally driving the Citroen Ami.
We can discuss the pros and cons of small police cars. However, in the famous narrow streets of Greece, Citroen Ami certainly helped the police teams a lot.
Ami, which is used extensively throughout the island of Chalki, allows the police teams to reach everywhere more easily due to the fact that vehicle use is not common in the region. Its range of 70 kilometers is considered to be quite sufficient for this. Of course, you can imagine what kind of image will be encountered in the scenario where police teams take a suspect into custody. Citroen Ami is not very functional in this regard with its small size.
Austria completes the Porsche quota of our list with the 911 Carrera.
You can see one of Porsche’s most loved models, the 911 Carrera, while patrolling in Austria. Beneath its cool and cute appearance, there is a very powerful engine.
It is certain that the vehicle gives the police a pleasant time with its handling and high performance. Of course, not only that, it also provides a great convenience to the police with its 420 horsepower engine and 0 to 100 in 4.6 seconds.
Although it may seem strange to see Ferrari in a color other than its iconic red, yes, Italy has turned Ferrari into a police car.
Again, perhaps the most beautiful police car you can see in Italy, the Ferrari 458 looks like a monster. Besides its looks, its engine is also a beast. However, Italy mostly uses this vehicle to make a show at events.
The V8 engine of the vehicle has a total of 570 horsepower, and there are semi-automatic 7-speed gears that will make the vehicle’s driving enjoyable.
Bonus: Although it is not well known, Yunus policemen in our country also have Hyundai Tucson.
Bonus 2: Perhaps the most common police car we see in our country is the Ford Tourneo Connect.
