Do you live in Devon or Cornwall?

If so then look out for the latest car the police have!

Luckily it's not operational, if it was then anyone thinking they could outrun the police, as some do, would have a rude awakening!

"Devon and Cornwall Police now have a £90,000 sports car in its possession - and it goes up to 186mph.

The Norfolk-based company Lotus UK has loaned the sports car to the force for one year.

It can go from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and hit speeds of 186mph.

But you're unlikely to see it out and about on the roads.

The grey Lotus Evora GT410 Sport is being used by police to increase community engagement and road safety awareness. It will not be used for response or patrol work."

Yes, I bet they are! Personally I wouldn't mind a drive in that myself,
without the police 'Battenburg' though!

Re: Do you live in Devon or Cornwall?

Its a pity they don't actually use it as a patrol car



With the demise of the Holden or Ford V8s the NSW police had to chose an imported car so now the fleet will slowly be replaced with BMWs and Chryslers, nothing like as powerful as the old Holdens





However they still have one Porsche

Actually they are very nice cars. Easy to spot. Colourful! Trendy!
I like to be able to spot them easily not like unmarked cars.

Yes, the unmarked cars are what could be considered 'sneaky', However, when you see the way some idiotic 'drivers' misbehave on the roads 'plain' cars can be considered necessary.

Now they really are 'sneaky'! To get around in the nearest big town to this rural village they use scooters! Not easy to spot and they can go from one location to the next in minutes, without even being seen!
