Default TechArt Porsche 997 Carrera S Police Car

Sorry, no info, found it on a wallpaper site. Suddenly I'm reconsidering my education as an economist, and thinking about applying to the Autobahnpolizei. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Here's the article to go with it:

TECHART police patrol car is the symbol of
"TUNE IT! SAFE!"

Contrary to the general economic trend, tuning is gaining in popularity in Germany. Car enthusiasts spend 4.4 billion euros each year on the personalization of their vehicles. And the trend continues. Although reputable tuning companies place strong emphasis on dependability, safety and responsibility, the market abounds with inferior and often illegal products and supposedly inexpensive pirated copies, ranging from spoilers to rims.

It is this safety risk that industry, government, associations and the public authorities now wish to counter together in a nationwide campaign involving fair promotions, advertisements, posters, online presentations, press and public relations and many other activities.

The symbol of the campaign is a TECHART police patrol car, based on a Porsche Carrera S (997).
The vehicle communicates the cooperation of public authorities and the tuning industry.

This sportscar will be the eye-catcher of the campaign "TUNE IT! SAFE!" at the Essen Motorshow 2005.

What a horrible light bar. That thing will easily cause like a 30mph drop in top speed, probably more. I mean hell, it's using actual rotating lightbulbs? Why not the low profile LED style there have here in the states?

And the speedholes may have something to do with the radar... Or some bullet holes... Or maybe none. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

The "speed holes" are more than likely the placement of the actual siren.

Though the tendancy for articles from europe to swap commas and periods when talking about numbers gets confusing sometimes...(like how 5,250.95 becomes 5.250,95 images/smilies/wacko.gif It took me a second or two to realize the mpg wasn't 11, 5--as in either 11 or 5-- but 11.5)
well, we don't swap back and forth, we stick to (xmpl) 30.000,60

Yeah, besides the huge lightbar, the car is rather nice. I wonder if a regular customer could order that package, cause I really like it.

Beautiful, why can't we have unrestricted freeways so that way we could get Porsche police cars too. Heck, I'd be happy with a Viper cop car.

Ah, man, I thought I edited that out before anyone could post. I thought about how silly it sounded and decided to nevermind. Guess I wasn't fast enough...still, it does tend to throw me off sometimes...

before you all start applying to the autobahnpolizei; here comes the bad news:
unlike the rather cool italian police, who use their gallardo in everyday-duty, the retarded germans (yes, i just set my personalausweis on fire!) will put this police-porka right in the museum to rest next to all the other polizeiwagen we got from porsche. there's a shitload of them all rotting away...but then the italians also have uniforms designed by great italian labels while our wachtmeister still wear these disgusting brown trousers that look like adolf himself made them...

In Finland the police use donated cool police cars too. Only problem with that is that last summer they crashed a police Jaguar S-type R when chasing a motorcyclist images/smilies/sad.gif
