Holy crap!! If that's the car I got to drive for being on the Highway Patrol (even if it required 20 years experience) sign me up right now!

Is there room in that thing for a prisoner ...errr I mean me? If I knew I'd be taken to the slammer in that I would be tempted to break the law or at least injure it.

Around here the cops might run you down with other vehicles. This is a pic of my rearview mirror with my cell phone camera the other day as I was speeding to work:



j/k of course, I don't speed.

That's can't be a cop car. No way.

How do the fit the 250 lb white guy with the mustache in there?

Yeah, I'm of the opinion that this car is some rich guy's toy.


Then again, I do see some ridiculously nice police cars around the world.

Yup. If anyone was unclear on what they're looking at, it's a Caparo T1 playing dress-up.

Some fun numbers:

The Caparo weighs so little that it would be useless as a chase car against a determined criminal. You couldn't block anyone with it because if they hit you, you'd just be punted a mile.

I don't know what you're talking about.



This would be metro rapid response in the sense that it could get anywhere in the city. You could chase down pedestrians on sidewalks!
