What cars do police drive in different countries: top 5 most striking models

Police work is challenging and dangerous, so officers need to have the best vehicles to chase down criminals or respond quickly. Of course, patrol cars differ from country to country. While Italian cops patrol the streets in luxury Lamborghinis and Germans remain loyal to their BMWs, some Greek islands are concerned about the environment and choose a miniature Citroen Ami.

Top Gear magazine has published the top of the most striking police car models in different countries. The maximum power and impressive maneuverability will definitely not leave any chance for criminals.

Italy - Lamborghini Urus Performante

In 2024, the Lambo Urus Performante will join the Italian police fleet, and experts say its role will be invaluable in saving lives.

On the outside, the blue and white police livery is combined with black accents and glossy alloys. The doors are fitted with "Polizia" logos, while a blue LED light panel takes its versatile place on the roof alongside a two-tone electric siren.

As expected, the interior has undergone the biggest changes. While the actual driver's display and center console remain close to standard, the rear of the car has become quite spacious. A folding message display and a section for service equipment have also been added. The car even has a defibrillator for first aid. The twin-turbocharged V8 engine has a powerful 657 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Australia, Victoria - Tesla Model X

The Australian police have announced the introduction of a trial Model X. Given that the car has incredible acceleration, criminals and fugitives will not stand a chance.

The Victorian State Police in Australia stated that electric vehicles are an environmentally friendly and reliable mode of transportation, and "given that our state patrol cars travel thousands of kilometers on the road, we should always look for ways to reduce our environmental impact."

US Police - Dodge Charger

The Dodge Charger is a real monster of American roads. Its ominous searchlights strike fear into intruders. The car is equipped with a powerful V8 engine. In addition, the car is equipped with a reinforced chassis with rear-wheel drive, high-performance suspension, load-leveling shock absorbers, powerful brakes, stabilizers, 18-inch performance tires and steel wheels.

The interior is equipped with a high-quality dashboard, police front seats, and the ability to personalize the ride with Mopar. It is possible to improve the electrical performance of the car, add new graphics, ballistic door panels for the driver and passenger, and steel inserts in the seat back.

United Kingdom - Ford Mustang Mach-E

British police may soon have a new, silent crime-fighting tool at their disposal in the form of this Mach-E concept vehicle from Ford.

The initial concept is based on a standard all-wheel drive Mach-E, but Ford says it also plans to offer extended range versions for longer races. A top-of-the-line GT variant will also be available, equipped with a twin-turbocharged 480 horsepower powerplant and capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. It is ideal for potential thieves caught red-handed.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is currently on display at the NEC in Birmingham. The automaker notes that the police in Sussex, Surrey, Dyfed, Devon, and Cornwall have already shown interest in the new car.

Greek islands - Citroen Ami

Citroen showed this Ami police car from the Greek island of Halki. It's pretty cute, don't you think? Apparently, Halki is aiming to become Greece's first eco-friendly island, and Citroen is helping the local authorities by donating six electric vehicles for use by government agencies. There is even an Ami coast guard.
