Default Police Special: Top Art Porsche


Dracula, check. Gypsies, check. To the list of cultural icons in Romania, now you can add this Top Art police pursuit vehicle made from the Porsche 911.


Top Art Porsche 911 has a carbon-fiber aero body kit and a black leather and carbon-fiber interior.

Date posted: 04-25-2007

BUCHAREST, Romania — What is it with high-performance cop cars lately? Last week, we brought you news of Ferrari's tongue-in-cheek police edition of the 612 Scaglietti. Now comes word from Romania of a Porsche 911 pursuit vehicle, compliments of Bogdan Urdea and Top Art Automotive Design.

Top Art has created a carbon-fiber aero body kit for the 911 that includes a new front spoiler, rear spoiler with integral diffuser, side skirts, wheel arches and air extractors. A roof-mounted tunnel provides additional air flow to the turbochargers in the rear engine bay.

Inside, the car is trimmed in black leather and carbon fiber and sports a multimedia surround-sound system with rear camera, DVD player and central video screen.

What this means to you: The police in Romania have never had it so good.

Umm...multimedia surround-sound system...in a police car?

If this was a car for personal use, I'd say the body kits are over done.

But since it isn't, I guess all that matters is if it can catch crooks and vampires .

if you're giong to spend soooo much on a nice car, cf kit, rims (could be better), + other mods, its not going to do much if you have that big a** light cluster on the top... why dont they just get the new LED lights that police cars have or the lights that the undercover cars have (inside the car)

The car looks like its computer generated from a video game, if it's real it's looks race ready for LeMans
