370-hp Porsche Cop Car

You're unlikely ever to see this Porsche cop car in your rearview mirror, since this is a one-off concept. But it sure is the stuff of nightmares for anyone with a lead foot — and of dreams for anyone who works for a police department anywhere in the world.

ESSEN, Germany — One of the world's fastest police cars, a 370-horsepower Porsche 911 Carrera S, was unveiled this week at the auto show here, marking a rare alliance between a Porsche tuner and the German Federal Traffic Ministry.
Sporting a green-and-silver exterior and a light bar on the roof, the Porsche squad car goes from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The TechArt concept is outfitted with a modified 3.8-liter flat-six engine, 20-inch wheels and tires, a sport suspension, high-performance brakes, and front and rear spoilers.
In a statement, TechArt explained that the concept "supports the new campaign aimed at increasing awareness for safe and legal tuning."
Lamborghini trumps the Porsche cop car with its Gallardo squad car, which was unveiled in 2004. The Lambo Gallardo police car is powered by a 5.0-liter, 500-horsepower V10 engine with a top speed of 190 mph. It goes from zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds.
