While cool, it's obviously for media exposure. It'd set on fire as soon as the police driver got out of 1st gear.

Not to hard to run away from, it'll spend most of its time on fire.

EddScott · 1 Nov 2007 at 17:34

Its to confuse the young hoodies.

Well, if the police car is already on fire.......................

Im thinking its not very practical compared to a Volvo T5 estate and they use helis for high speed pursuit

BigglesPiP · 1 Nov 2007 at 17:54

Maybe Ian Blair goes and blasts around North Wales in it.

So am I reading this right that it's likely the cops didn't pay for this at all, and it's mainly a Caparo marketing stunt, and less a cops one.

Unlike the exige...

"oh no, the cops are on my tail!"

"no matter, ill just go over this speedbump"

I bet he does, waving his warrant card through every camera screaming 'diplomatic immunity'

Surely it would be better for the fire brigade seeing as they have a tendancy to ignite?

Tax Evader · 1 Nov 2007 at 18:59

Yep, unfortunately its firey tendencies dominate it's reputation

It was novel the first time round with the Lotus but it's getting a bit sad now isn't it..

They could catch you up and pull you over nice and quick, but you'd have run off in the time itd take them to get the canopy off and get out...
