The Czech Republic is stepping up their game as BMW has given country's
Highway Patrol a new i8 police car.
The i8
features an eye-catching silver exterior with a yellow and blue police livery.
The car has also been equipped with an LED light bar and discreet LED emergency
lights in the grille.
The interior doesn't appear to have any
police-specific modifications but it has two-tone leather upholstery and blue
seat belts.
The car was delivered to the Police of the Czech
Republic as part of a joint project which will enable the Highway Patrol to use
the vehicle for six months or up to 20,000 km, whichever comes first.
Like the standard model, the police car is a plug-in hybrid which uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and an electric motor. This enables the car to produce 362 PS and accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds.
