The cruisers that police use in the United States
can be pretty intimidating, especially when you see one grow in your rear-view
mirror with lights ablaze. But they're nothing compared to some of the vehicles
we've seen police using in other countries overseas.
In Italy, for example, some cops roll around in a
Ferrari 458 Spider or Lamborghini Huracan. In Australia, police recently took
delivery of a Mercedes-AMG E43 and a BMW i8. And don't even get us started on
the United Arab Emirates. Now a police department in the UK has added a Porsche
Cayman GT4 to its motor pool.
The track-tuned German sports car was donated for a
period of two years by the youth-oriented Lind Trust to the Constabulary in
Norfolk – on the east coast of England, not Virginia. It's equipped wit strobe
lights, yellow and blue checkerboard livery.
Local motorists shouldn't expect to see the Porsche
patrolling the highways, though. The vehicle is earmarked for public-awareness
duty, breaking down barriers between police and young drivers at schools,
colleges, and wherever is “likely to draw crowds of young people.”
