I think its a bit of a joke !

Surely, PU, given the site it's on.
Sussex (?) have had a Lotus (I think) for PR and recruitment stands for ages though, so it could be something like that. Anything to draw people to your stand, and engage teenage boys - get them looking at the car and hit them with safe driving advice, that kind of thing?

will never happen
imagine that involved in a box maneuver to bring the car to a halt. Crazy.

I originally saw the article in my daily paper. The link I posted was the first one that popped up when I used google news for the search.
The newspaper mentioned "Now the Metropolitan Police are looking to use it as a rapid response vehicle to react to 999 calls after the car was given the all-clear to be used on UK roads. A police source said: The Caparo would ensure officers can get to the scene of a crime faster. It?s certainly something we?ll be looking at getting.?

Watch Police Interceptors tonight. They have things like Impreza's and Evo's.
I do wonder whether this vehicle is the right thing for the police though. Is there anything it can do that an Impreza can't? Although I suppose it could be partly to scare the other drivers. Somebody with an Impreza may try to outrun an Impreza, but there probably aren't many drivers that would consider outrunning that thing.
Wait a minute, is it a one seater? I think Police advanced drivers always drive in pairs, one to drive and one to do the radio etc. I can't see somebody doing 150mph in it while talking on their radio.

Very little that's any use to the police. On the other hand a real car like an Impreza or Evo can do a lot of things that it can't. Like contain four or five people for example. And go down farm tracks and over speed bumps and through chicanes and so on.
