We’re amazed by the number of police forces around the world buying exotic cars to promote their services or increase awareness of various issues they’re trying to target. The Italian police force has the Gallardo, the Dutch have the Spyker C8, the Brits recently used a Lambo LP640, and now Chilean Customs officers are using a Ferrari Enzo. Considering there were only 399 made (not including the special ones), the Carabineros must have paid through the nose to acquire one, though there’s some doubt as to whether it’s real or not.

Could be real or fake, not sure.

I could understand a Gallardo or something similar in price, but an Enzo? The police forces should use that money to fight crime, not show off.

:x did they really have to paint it like that?

bmagni · 11-09-2006, 01:22 AM

is say BS. No govt is willing to pay 1 million for a CUSTOMS police... unless it was a gift...

...and if they did pay 1 million they could have at least made it look cool instead of paint it forest green and white with a light bar from radio shack

The "neros" written across the hood looks totally fake and photoshopped

if real, then it's a PR thing like the british LP640, the show the car to get attention, that's it.

It screams Photoshop!!!!

Oh HELL no!!!!! BTW, does the chile police have the same colours as the Polizei? (and the same highways , to need a Enzo to patrol?) .... useless ! :x

look at the lights on the roof. there is nothing on the door that is open. but on the other side, the light seems to be on top of the door.
photoshop!!

Well, the brits didn't actually buy the LP640, it was a borrowed vehicle purely for a PR stunt.

I should imagine that's what some of the other unconfirmed cases are too.

Personally, if any of the forces are actually buying these cars to use, I think it's completely inexcusable especially if tax payers are paying. :roll:
