Police Scirocco
Volkswagen coupe transformed into stylish German chase-car
Another week, another cool Police car. This time it's the turn of the VW Scirocco, the Golf GTI-based coupe that put in a good performance at evo Car of the Year. It follows on from the Lamborghini LP560-4 police car that the Italians are just about to put into good use.
Whether the German Polizei will actually use the Scirocco remains to be seen - it isn't the most practical of cars - but the 197bhp GTI heart is a good basis, and this modified version, which features at the Essen motor show, is sure to have a few tweaks to benefit the law-enforcers behind the wheel.
For now, get used to that menacing front view. It could be appearing in your rear view mirror on an Autobahn soon...
In the meantime, check out the rest of the tuned Sciroccos at the Essen motor show.
