Lol yeah I don't think that's the right link! Have to say the NSX does seem a strange choice for British police - a two seat sports car is strange enough, but then at least the Lotus Esprit they chose a few years ago was British!

I can't understand the practicality of using a small little two seet
sports car as a police car. I mean, were do you put the arrested
criminals and all the other gear that has to be carried in a police
car. I still think that a Ford Crown Victoria is the best choice
for a police car.

Most "city" police cars in the UK are vauxhalls, but motorway police and high speed pursuit vehciles are high performance volvo estates, mercedes e class estates and mercedes ML's as well as a few evo's

I do hope you are joking.
The practicalities of an NSX/Corvette(US)/Gallardo(Italy) is that they can take part in a high speed pursuit, with handling to allow them to catch criminals.
The Lambo in Italy is used to transport organs to save people lives... tell me what is so unpratical about that
The NSX, it must be stressed, is only going to be used to promote the Safety Campaign in the UK, not to actually be used by the Police

Thanks mindgam3 for bigging up the UK
This will probably end up turning into one of those "What police cars do they use in your country topics?"

That's a great idea RC
A TVR, Noble or an Aston Martin would have been amazing 8)
Imagine a Vanq or a M12 in police livery
