No wonder if the American and Canadian police officers have the courage to conduct the high speed pursuing action against illegal racers, car thieves or criminals on the streets.
This sparked some countries to undertake similar method, by giving the advanced sports cars to their police force. Here we summarize 7 supercool police cars from all over the world,
7. Mazda RX-8
Like
any modern police force, the Keisatsu (Japanese police force) have a
tremendous amount of equipment. Unlike the United States, where most
police cars are one of just two or three common types of sedan, the
Japanese use an astonishing variety of cars, each especially suited to a
specific role.

generation of the RX-7 can be driven up to 234 kph by using a machine

The car is the slowest amongst the Porsche car catalogue. The base model Porsche Panamera accelerates to 100 kph in a leisurely 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 259 kph.

2. Spyker C8 Spyder
And then, there was a Spyker C8 Spyder is specially created for Frevoland police in the Netherlands. The C8 is a hand built roadster built by Spyker and powered by an Audi 4.2L V8, which is capable of producing output power of 400 hp and could be pushed to speeds up to 300 kph. There are several different flavors starting with a 400 hp version capable of reaching speeds of up to 300 kph moving up to the C8 Double 12S, a street legal version of the Le Mans C8 with an optional 600 hp engine.

A more expensive and powerful version, labelled the C12 because of its W12 engine, was also developed recently but considering the €215,000 starting price for just the V8 version, we bet that the police version is the lesser C8 model. This is just the latest high-end performance car to be turned over to crime fighting forces.
1. Hummer H2
German automotive performance house GeigerCar specialises in American cars and outrageous one-offs, and is hence accustomed to unusual customer requests. So the request from a Texas sheriff to turn his personal emergency vehicle into the world’s fastest police Hummer represented a special challenge and one which was approached with pride.
