Dubai police Ferrari FF
Announced on Twitter earlier this year, Dubai's police force admitted that yes, they had bought a V12-engined pursuit vehicle in the shape of the four-seat Ferrari FF. The four-wheel drive will doubtless prove vital for all those snow-and-ice police chases across the UAE.
Dubai police Lamborghini Aventador
That FF was preceded by a Lamborghini Aventador cop car, handy for pursuing criminals driving Lamborghini Aventadors
Italian police Lotus Evora S
Ah yes, the Evora S again. Though this time, used by the Carabinieri - surely the world's hardest and most scariest police force (they're trained as soldiers for crying out loud) - for expediting the transfer of essential human organs. They're even equipped with fridges to keep said organs fresh. Don't get on the wrong side of the Italian rozzers, mind, or you'll find your own offal-parts in there too....
UK police Caparo T1
Another ‘safety-message' stunt saw this Caparo T1 liveried up as a police car. But just imagine if it really was a police pursuit vehicle. Assuming it didn't become on fire, you'd have NO chance of escaping.
Italian police Lamborghini Gallardo
203mph, 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds, 560bhp and four-wheel-drive: this is how the Italians do law enforcement. Meet the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560, donated by Lambo to the Italian State Police to help ‘accident and crime prevention and sustain security on Italian roads'. Yikes.
US police Chevrolet Corvette
Not a Real Thing, unfortunately, instead drawn by former GM man 'Maximum' Bob Lutz as a flight of fancy. Quite a good flight of fancy.
Dubai police Brabus G63 AMG
This 690bhp ‘Widestar' can accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and on to an official top speed of 149mph. Unofficially, you'd have to be clinically bonkers to attempt to outrun any police force that ultimately decides on a four-wheel-drive, modified off-roader as a suitable police vehicle.
Humberside Police Lexus IS-F
Yes please. You can keep your Astras and Insignias and Hyundais thanks; we'd much rather see UK cops behind the wheel of a 416bhp Lexus IS-F. Although mainly used as a deterrent, it could be used to chase crims on the run: the IS-F packed an onboard computer to allow officers to access the national police database while on the move.
Dubai police Aston Martin One-77
Oh dear god, they just won't stop, will they? Not content with stickering up an Aventador, FF and G63 to police duty, Dubai's offices pressed one of the world's most beautiful, rarest and fastest cars into service: the Aston Martin One-77. For the love of all that's sacred in your life, please, do not speed in Dubai.
Brabus CLS V12 S ‘Rocket'
Be very thankful that this isn't actually a real life, working-dog police car. It was built way back in 2006 to promote safe tuning in Germany, though there's nothing safe inside here. Underneath sits a twin-turbo V12 produced 730bhp, enough to haul the CLS ‘Rocket' to a top speed of 225mph. Schnell!
US police Dodge Charger
Replacing the ageing Crown Vic, this Charger was built with feedback from actual police officers in the States, and is a working, badge-holding, real-life police car. In fact, Chrysler claims it to be the fastest American police car in the history of ever: the RWD version clocked the fastest lap time ever recorded for a cop car around Michigan State Police's Vehicle Evaluation Race.

UK Police Lotus Evora S
You're looking at a police-liveried Evora S, donated by the fine chaps over at Lotus to officers from Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, to help spread the message that speeding, drink driving, not wearing a seatbelt, or driving while using a mobile phone simply isn't cricket.
The idea is that an Evora S will engage younger drivers better than, say a diesel Astra, thus allowing the rozzers to deliver their important safety messages. And also look well cool, innit.
