Looks like Jaguar’s got an eye on the law-enforcement market. The company is previewing an XF decked in cop garp to police departments all over the UK. Powered by a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter diesel mill that produces 275 horsepower and returns decent fuel economy, the car has to be the most stylish cruiser we’ve ever laid [...]
The boys (and girls) in blue at the New York Police Department will be ticketing protecting citizens in brand-spanking new Nissan Altima Hybrids. The force plans to use 22 of the rigs as unmarked cruisers while the rest will don the traditional light bar and reflective livery of the law. The reason behind the move [...]
I. Chevrolet released some shots of a super-sexy cop-spec Camaro. The modern-day Blues Mobile has all the trimmings including sneaky red and blues in the headlights and a pushbar. Awesome. [0-60]
I came of driving age in the People’s Republic of Virginia. If you’ve ever heard frightening tales of the Commonwealth’s heavy-handed republican guard (state police), they’re true. All of them. In all my years of paying out my ass gleefully donating to the state, I never suffered the way Finnish millionaire Jari Bar recently did. [...]
I’m moving to Europe. Svelte autos like the Focus RS have left me toying with the idea for a while, but the video after the jump is the final straw. In it, you get law-enforcement dash cam as the boys in blue run down a Ferrari F430 Scuderia in some sort of PD station wagon. [...]
Behold! The Carbon E7—supposedly the next chapter in pulling your ass over—is a purpose-built cop car. Evidently, police everywhere have felt inadequate in the face of EMT’s, firefighters and even mail carriers because those public servants all get special vehicles. Police, on the other hand, are relegated to redecorated Crown Vics. Carbon Motors is here [...]
We really like this guy. In Germany, traffic cameras are set up to get a picture of the driver’s face. As opposed to here in America where thieves can steal your car, run red lights and stick you with a ticket. No really. Maybe Germany is a more genteel society than ours, or they believe [...]
If there’s one thing gearheads love more than the rides they wrench on, it’s show boating! Once I personally provided the entertainment at a party by giving all the inebriated rides in a ’73 ‘Vette, T-top (not mine). You know life’s good when it’s hard to tell who’s screaming louder — the passenger or the [...]
You’ve got to hand it to this guy. He was determined, if nothing else. A pizza guy in Townsville, Australia got nailed for 82 mph in a 50 mph zone. His excuse? The pie was late. According to MSN, the officer was understanding, waiting for the 20 year-old to make his delivery before citing him. [...]
