Fastest Police Car in the World


TUNE IT! SAFE! (www.tune-it-safe.de) is the name of a new initiative started by the Bundesverkehrsministerium (German Federal Traffic Ministry), VDAT (Association of German Automobile Tuners) and the ESSEN-MOTOR-SHOW.

TechArt Automobildesign (www.techart.de) supports the new campaign aimed at increasing awareness for safe and legal tuning with the world’s fastest police car. The Porsche 911 Carrera S has been completely modified by TechArt and reaches a top speed of some 300 km/h thanks to 370-hp / 272-kW performance tuning.

In addition to sporting the official green police markings and the light bar on the roof the world’s fastest police car is also a prime example for professional automobile tuning. TechArt increases power output of the 3.8-liter flat six with the TA 097/S1 performance kit by 15 hp / 11 kW. Thus equipped the silver and green coupe accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and breaches the 300-km/h barrier.

To achieve even better directional stability and therefore active safety the Carrera S was fitted with a TechArt aerodynamic-enhancement kit that was tested extensively in the wind tunnel. It is joined by TechArt Formula 20-inch five-spoke wheels with 235/30 ZR 20 and 305/25 ZR 20 tires, and by the custom-calibrated TechArt Vario sport suspension with struts that are adjustable in height, bound and rebound.

In the interior an ergonomically shaped TechArt sport steering wheel with airbag ensures a safe handle on the performance.

very cool...I'm suprised they didn't use an LED light bar instead of that bulky one...I also thought the gallardo police interceptor was faster...Love the wheels on that bad boy though...

I thought the Gallardo would be faster too, but maybe it doesn't have as high of a top speed. That's one badass cop car.

I guess it isn't a 200mph+ car...the Gallardo has a top speed of around 194 or so...but it would deffinitely be quicker in the bottom end, that's for sure.

I thought For sure the Polizia Gallardo would be faster. That Porsche is hot anyway, it just needs a low-pro LED bar, or maybe just make it a slicktop and put the LED's inside the car, like on unmarkeds.

wait a minute...just did the math...300kmh= roughly 188mph...so the Gallardo is faster!

It sounds like the author of the article is just drumming up hype and is ignorant of the Gallardo.
