The Austrian Federal Ministry of Interior has a long
history with Porsche, which spans all the way back to the 1960s, when the
company used to supply cars to the country's law enforcement agencies.
Their partnership has now been taken into the 21st
century, as the automaker has supplied a brand new 911 Carrera that will be
used on motorways across the country, where it will tackle traffic offenders.
Equipped with police livery, a flashing blue light,
and a radio system, which is basically everything it needs for its new job, the
sports car is a free loan from Porsche and will be used by the local Federal
Ministry of Interior until October.
Powering the Porsche 911 Carrera is a 3.0-liter
engine that delivers 370 PS and 450 Nm of torque to the rear
axle, through either a manual or a double clutch transmission. The former needs
4.6 sec to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, while the latter can do
it in 4.4 sec. Add the Sport+ package and the time drops by another 0.2 sec for
the PDK variant.
