- realclark, on 10/10/2007, -11/+45technically, the world coolest cop car is a 1992 Ford Crown Victoria based in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada.
- Jazzillion, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32But can it turn into a giant robot that shoots a 1,000 rounds of artillery per second? The world's coolest cop car so far.
- Toothy1911, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Where the hell in London is this going to be of any use, a push bike would be faster around all the congestion.
- theright, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20I hate to spoil the excitement, but it's not a real police car, people. It's a privately-owned Lamborghini that was temporarily fittedo out with police livery for publicity purposes and a photoshoot. It is not a police car, and there are no plans for Lamborghinis to be used as police cars.
The photo is not new, either. It's from the MPH car show in November 2006. It's just been blogspammed here with some false claims that it's going to be used as a police car.
See: http://cms.met.police.uk/news/policy_organisational_news_and_general_information/met_lamborghini_on_show - mdjohnson1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19okay ... now that you caught me, see if you can hand-cuff me in the back seat. Ha.
- dude1818, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Italy also has lambos for cop cars too.
- vigilance72, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Years ago (5-10), some police force in the U.S. was donated a lamborghini, to deal with speeders. A couple of months later they had crashed it.
- SickFinga, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Definitely not as coolest, but here is the fastest and the most expensive police car right now.
http://rankyspanky.com/2006/11/18/fastcops/ - estvir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12The colours are, anyway.
- TheAcidQueen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
- MrLunar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Yup, I don't care.
...But that's probably because we don't pay in dollars. - santy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Man that's real Mike Looooooowwwrreeeyy.
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I'd rather we paid in dollars though, it'd be cheaper right now :D
- luke16, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8i have only seen one once, last month. It almost makes me want to get arrested and take a trip to the station xD
- uberkling, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"We have a code-415 in progress, beginning high-speed persuit..."
"...Crap. Speed hump". - rabidbob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I'm sorry but in London rush hour I could get away from that thing riding a 50cc scooter!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9FTA:
"The world’s coolest cop car is going to be on display at the Metropolitan Police stand at the MPH ’06 show at London’s Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre which starts today and runs until November 5."
Anyone notice the '06? Can you say, OLD NEWS? - ffleming, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8that joke went way over your head
- SteelFrog, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Man, and I thought my city was bad-ass with Dodge Charger cops.
- Radan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6No problem they simply put you in the car trunk and-, oh.
- themoors, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Good to know where my taxes are going
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Quick joke:
Two chavs are going around London in a car but no dance music is playing. Who's driving?
The police. - tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5To balance out the coolness though, the Met also have some Smart-cars: http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/police/dscd0047.jpg
- jdblueaudis4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Except Italy was using Gallardo's not Murcielago's. I believe this is the first use of a Murcielago as a cop car (at least that I have heard of)
- zyklon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I'd love to be pulled over by that car. You know... the narrow streets of London and all.
I'd be more fearing of a Lamborghini as a United States highway patrolman. - tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Even though it's from '06?
- msc20, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4the Italian gallardo is way f'in cooler than that and has been around for 3yrs
http://www.italiaspeed.com/2004/cars/lamborghini/05/police_gallardo.html - theright, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It's not owned by the police, and it's not used as a police car.
The Italian Lamborghinis are proper police cars, although afaik they were donated by Lamborghini. - Teej, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That's because the majority of Americans can't drive. Same goes for Canadians. I'd put my trust in a British driver way sooner than a North American one. Not to say that there aren't any exceptions, because there are. However, the standards of driving in England tend to be much higher. For one thing, the driving tests are much harder to complete.
- dukeochutney, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4that was my thought. i remembered a link to the Italian ones a while back.
- GfunkGbuss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3And everyone else's by the looks of the other responses.
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's the colours our police forces use. It's not meant to be pretty, it's meant to be noticeable (the yellow parts are reflective so they can be seen at night easily).
- zemkacz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3lmao
- madhighlandcow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4As so many others have pointed out, this would be a superb idea - for anywhere but a built up metropolitan district. Especially one with undulations in the roads that will crack the above supercar's suspension like an egg.
Muppets. - EmailAddress, on 10/10/2007, -0/+39mpg in the city and 14mpg on the highway...
Just as fat cops hang around the dounut shop, these cars will be hanging around the gas station. - Error601, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3For the meter maids?
- slipstreamJC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3dugg for being outside the ace cafe.
- theright, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yep. It was only on loan to the Met for the duration of the MPH car show in November 2006. It's not used as a police car and never will be.
- rspeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3America's big hat.
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3IT'S. NOT. REALLY. A. POLICE. CAR.
How many more times... - Amenbea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I have to say barricade the mustang cop car from transformers movie is the coolest cop car i've ever seen.
- willcoll, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4that seems practical.
- JAVandiver, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow."
- theright, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's not a police car. No tax money went towards it.
- robdowns, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2World's most wasteful cop car ever. Can't even take a prisoner, very poor gas mileage, ridiculous price tag, and you don't even need something that fast as a chaser.
- zemkacz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2hummers are crap, the tax would rise like hell for the payments of gas fillups

- theright, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3It's not a real police car. It's privately owned, so not a penny of tax payers' money went towards it...
