Default Faster Police Car in the World (997 S)





TechArt Porsche 911 Carrera S for TUNE IT! SAFE!
Text & Photos courtesy TechArt Automobildesign
11-16-2005


TechArt Automobildesign (www.techart.de) supports the new campaign aimed at increasing awareness for safe and legal tuning with the world’s fastest police car. The Porsche 911 Carrera S has been completely modified by TechArt and reaches a top speed of some 300 km/h thanks to 370-hp / 272-kW performance tuning.



In addition to sporting the official green police markings and the light bar on the roof the world’s fastest police car is also a prime example for professional automobile tuning. TechArt increases power output of the 3.8-liter flat six with the TA 097/S1 performance kit by 15 hp / 11 kW. Thus equipped the silver and green coupe accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and breaches the 300-km/h barrier.



To achieve even better directional stability and therefore active safety the Carrera S was fitted with a TechArt aerodynamic-enhancement kit that was tested extensively in the wind tunnel. It is joined by TechArt Formula 20-inch five-spoke wheels with 235/30 ZR 20 and 305/25 ZR 20 tires, and by the custom-calibrated TechArt Vario sport suspension with struts that are adjustable in height, bound and rebound.



In the interior an ergonomically shaped TechArt sport steering wheel with airbag ensures a safe handle on the performance.

I thought there were some tricked out skylines in Japan for police cars.

There's some Z06 Popo cars stateside that'd give this a run for its money

I'm just being a smartazz, but really.... that thing is sweet! Knowing Techart, they prolly designed that lightbar to create downforce

Fastest?
The fastest cop car has to be still the Gallardo in Italy, which accelerates from 0 to 60mph in 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 192mph (309 km/h).

The title of "the fastest " is made up by the germancarfan site, not me I don't want to see any of the above in my rearview mirror LOL

On the second thought, the Gallardo isn't the fastest cop car either, at least not if you count Brian O'Conner's car in F&F.
