Just
because you’re a cop, doesn’t mean you have to drive a bakkie...
Hummer H2
USA
They’ve gone for a unique out-gangsta-the-gangsta approach in this Texan county. With a 7.0-litre
supercharged V8 under the hood - and wheels rims that come up to your waist - any
criminal with at least a modicum of common sense is going to put his Glock back
in his pants and call it a night.
Lamborghini Gallardo
Italy
The Polizia first got one of
these back in 2004 and unsurprisingly they liked it. So much so that they
ordered a couple more – the latest being the LP560-4 capable of 0-100km/h in
3.7 seconds and a top speed of 325km/h. Just what one needs to flag down an
over enthusiastic Ferrari driver. Si.
Holden VE SS Commodore
Australia
The bruce’s down in Oz have gone
for what they know best – good old Aussie muscle in the shape of this beefy
Holden… or as we know it here in SA, the Chev Lumina. It’s not all old skool
brute force though, the 6.0-litre can also fire a GPS-embedded dart into
suspect vehicles.
MINI Cooper
Germany
As pragmatic as ever, the Munich
police have opted not for a sledgehammer Porsche, but this nippy little MINI
Cooper. Why? Two reasons: 1. It’s perfect for zipping around the city’s tight
streets; and 2. MINI is no longer the pride of Britain, but being owned by BMW,
in fact a German machine.
Lotus
Evora
United
Kingdom
You do not want to be speeding through the West
Midlands. Because they have new a Lotus and they are just itching to use it.
Part of this iconic brand's big revival, the car will do 0-100km/h in a criminal-nabbing 4.9 seconds. Though exactly where they plan on putting said criminals
once cuffed and arrested is a little hazy.
