Ok so it's not actually a police car, but still quite a beast none the less.

i can see the headlines as more police drivers are getting used to the cars at high speeds on our roads. with reference to that nice policeman who was caught doing 120mph+ in a vectra on public road

About 10 years ago Brabus did something similar with an E200 that they specced up in the same way, top speed being about 206mph (obviously with an engine transplant). The car was hellelfenbein (i.e., German taxi beige) and they wanted to put a taxi sign on the roof but found out that they couldn't get it to stay on above about 170 mph. Presumably the light bar would have the same problem.

light bars have that problem at considerably less speed than 170mph.........mate came back from a chase up the M1 with the blue light bit missing.....i.e the blue covered lens.......must have flown off somewhere

was driving a BMW 530d.....don't know the top speed, but can't imagine it's much more than 135-140

also....the roof lamps affect the cars just like roof racks do and knock off the top speed noticeably

How about this for a police car in Italy - a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Here's a link to a video clip about it:

530Ds is limited to 155mph. Can go faster without the limiter.
