Now This Is A Police Car
written by John Chow on April 24th, 2007
Now why can’t the Vancouver Police get anything like this? I think the only non-sedan police car they have is some riced out Honda Civic. I wonder if the police officers in the station fight over who get to drives this car?

I bet … People in the US would still try to outrun the cop if they saw that in the rear view mirror …

Reply to this commentThat would fail though!
Reply to this commentnot unless they had the same care
Reply to this commentItalians do it best :).
Reply to this commentWrong-O John. The police down in Tsawwassen, near the ferry, used to run a Dodge Stealth, though I’m not sure if they use it anymore.
That was one sexy cop car.
Reply to this commentPlease don’t tell me you just compared a Dodge Stealth to a Gallardo…
John: the cops here in Vancouver have a supercharged Mini and a WRX STi as far as I know.
Reply to this commentI’ve seen pictures of a Viper police car. Can’t picture that being anywhere but the US
Reply to this commentOh ya, I forgot about the WRX. But I didn’t know about the blown Mini.
Reply to this commentDefinitely not comparing the two, no comparison to make there, was just saying there is something other then the usual Lincolns cruising the streets around here.
Never seen the WRX or Mini before, very cool.
Reply to this commentThe Mini was made as part of the now defunct PACER program but is a regular cop car/show car. I know the driver well as he is an active REVscene.net user and shows up at all our meets.
Reply to this commentDodge =/ Lamborghini
No way, no how!
Reply to this commentI told you chow, next trip Europe
Reply to this commentThe local police just got one here.
I bet it gets wrecked eventually. I doubt they can speed all around Italy and not bumb something eventually.
Reply to this commentAs for the competition as to who gets to drive it, I’ll be that if you’ve had an accident before, you’re out of the running
Reply to this commentHaha no doubt marc!
Reply to this commentA cop who gets speeding tickets while off-duty…he should get to drive the car.
Reply to this commentIve seen cops with hummers in Jersey. And here in Goergia they have some new mustangs.
Reply to this commentPretty sweet ride for the fuzz over there. Too bad you won’t get a ride to the station in that baby. No back seat!
Reply to this commentBelieve it or not that car was actually a gift from Lamborghini to the Italian police. A $280,000 gift… pretty nice of them huh? I could use a gift like that.
$1,000,000
Reply to this commentI think we call could Eric!
Reply to this commentMa Ma Mia!.. I’m ataliano can i havea a presente porfavor?
Reply to this commentThe cops in Toronto were running a couple of stripped-down Camaro Z-28s that were basically street-legal race cars (top speed around 165 mph) but I think they have replaced them with Hemi Chargers.
Reply to this commentTo chase Lamborghinis, you need a Lamborghini. I bet German cops have some Porsches.
Reply to this commentI like one
Reply to this commentJust Marketing
Lamborghini gave that car for free to police for PR. I guess after that video it has been parked and never used ! At least I’ve never seen a car like that used in everyday jobs by italian police 
Reply to this commentKinda like Ferrari giving the last Enzo to the Pope. Of course the Pope has no use for it.
Reply to this commentAhhh come on! Of course the pope has use for an Enzo! I bet he takes that thing on some back road in Rome and just lets it loose. Haha, funny mental image eh?
Picture of the pope driving his Enzo (haha)
Reply to this commentdude, your post leads to your blog with no picture
Reply to this commentWheres the pic eric?.. if you’re going to claim to have the pic then post it
Reply to this commentYeah. Especially because Vatican City doesn’t have (a lot of) roads.
Reply to this commentSo come to find out, the car was given to the pope, and sold for $1.2 million. The money was used to support the tsunami relief efforts in southeast Asia.
Reply to this commentThat sounds rather reasonable. I’m glad to hear that’s what happened. Someone who wanted an Enzo got one, the church was able to help the needy, the needy got some of the help they needed. Win, win, win.
Reply to this commentFancy police cars usually just end up at public relations specials.
Reply to this commentYes, but they sure do shine at those PR events
Reply to this commentWow, we really need something like this in the states. Although, I don’t think the government would actually fund something like this. How do you manage to find such a good videos?
Reply to this commentHere in Michigan, USA I see a lot of Mustangs as police cars. they have the lights built into the grille and set in the windows so you wouldn’t even know if it was a cop creeping up behind you on the expressway.
Reply to this commentWow thats pretty sexy.
I can’t imagine they would really use it in a car chase, though.
Reply to this commentVancouver uses suped up mustangs for the TransCanada hwy
I’ve seen em
Reply to this commentItalian police are also known for riding those posh BMW big bikes, aren’t they.
Reply to this commentwith their speedo bottoms and no shirts right?
Reply to this commentOur best police cars are some VW Passat. I suppose they can’t race that, can they?
Reply to this commentDepends what they did to the Passat
Police departments usually have significantly overpowered vehicles…
Reply to this commentThis has been done a long time back. You heard about it now?
Reply to this commentWe have something like that out here I don’t know how often it gets used but I know the demanded one. I think the officers just wanted to drive around in one.
Reply to this commentHi, I’m a long lime lurker first time poster. It’s really strange you just posted about this car, as I have just posted a pic of this very car when I saw it in Rome. You can view it here:

Reply to this commentJohn-
You really need to come to NYC. Then we could just walk around and look in public garages at cars like this or this one…

Just had one pull in front of me on a sidewalk into a public parking garage…always think of the scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with the parking attendants driving the Ferrari when I see someone parking in a garage like that.
Maybe I should get a temp job at a garage….
Reply to this commentThat is one ridiculously sick police car. The police here seems to like Crown Vics a lot.
Reply to this commentthat vid won’t play for me
Reply to this commentdid you try using another browser?
Reply to this commentI can’t believe this is a police car
Reply to this commentI saw this video a while back…all they drive are chargers around here.
Reply to this commentNever in my life have I seen anything like it. That’s truly an amazing car. Wonder who decides who can drive the car. ?
Great post!
