Patrol unveils 'fastest UK police car'

West Midlands traffic unit has unveiled Britain's faster ever police car.

Lotus has provided one of its £55,000 162mph Evora models to the force for use on the M5, M6, M42, M6 toll road and other major routes, Rex Features reports.

PC Angus Nairn said: "It's a very quick car and we hope it will prove an effective deterrent to anyone thinking of speeding or trying to outrun us.

"It has incredible performance yet still does around 30mph to the gallon. It will attract a lot of attention on the motorways but that is the whole idea - it will remind drivers of the need to keep to their speed limits at all times".

And are they proving 'value for money' when police forces are cutting staff to manage their ever restricted budgets under the UK coalition government?


How many 'bobbies on the beat' could be employed instead? They would surely better engage with more members of their local communities and give the public what they want..... instead of a 'flash' motor to catch a few speeding reps!!



.

Very good value as these car are donated by the manufacturers.

Ah.... I see. Is that why Guernsey Police has a yucky Green Hyundai?? .

Somthing for the Guernsey Police?
