Default Amusing Anecdote

I was at the local filling station a few days ago and a new F-type pulled in behind me. Another new BMW 4 series coupe pulled in a few seconds later. As I was finishing my fill up, two police officers walked out of the convenience store and came up to me and asked if i would speak to the city council about getting them patrol cars like mine. We laughed and they went on their way, not even looking at the other two newer cars. The F-type driver wouldn't even look at me as i said hello to him. Hmm...

Hahaha...actually if you want to drive an XKR patrol car, buy "Need for Speed Hot Pursuit". The XKR is one of the available cars as cop or racer and it makes for a bit of fun.

Default Cop Cars

Here's the "fake" one from the video game but, as explained below, Jaguars are actually being used as police cars today.


Here's a real one - prior model X100:


Many police departments in the UK and Australia currently use the XF. Here's one from Sydney, Australia: Jaguar XF police car hits Sydney streets: Car News | CarsGuide


And even the XJ has been called to duty in Michigan: Jaguar Blog - All-New Jaguar XJ Transforms Into Police Cruiser


But they all pale in comparison to THE ULTIMATE COP CAR - Is it the Lamborghini Aventador? Nope!


Is it the Ferrari FF? Nope, again.


Well, then it must be the Bentley Continental GT! Wrong again.


OK, here it is: THE ULTIMATE COP CAR: THE ASTON MARTIN ONE-77 HYPERCAR! Only 77 made, cost $2 million! Just imagine how much getting a ticket must cost!
