Yes, speed doesn't really matter when you can get a couple of your mates up the road to pull onto the road in front of the speeding criminal.

And then smash straight into them? The idea it to bring the vehicle to a stop as safely as possible
 
I didn't see the car itself but they had a load of posters of it, tie pins etc. Trying to get a pic from google just now but just getting red X's.

Here is a verrry small pic:

Doesn't look like it was ever used though, bah.

Quite likely just a poster car then, like the Italian Lambo and a few other forces with cars stickered up...still, would be awesome to see one on the road doing a chase though.

I thought the italian lambos were used I think I remember reading something in evo about whoever owns the lp640 taking it into the factory to get some bits replaced and they were there just ticking over 200,000kms.

Not sure, as far as I was aware (with some of them at least), they were just poster cars. Although now that you mention it I do recall it being said last time these cars came up that the Italian one turned out to actually be used.

...Yeah, I think Lamborghini donated 3 Gallardo's to the Italian Police for its 50th anniversarry or something...
 
A mates golf gti 150 td remapped to around 200hp does 145mph (om the speedo) quite easily, I very much doubt a helicopter could keep up, any petrol turbo would be even quicker.

EDITL sorry i edited my post, just realised you quoted it

In a night persuit maybe with an empty motorway.... But 145mph constantly in a car like that would Suck fuel.. diesel or not.. he would have to stop sometime to let the car cool down, too.

Plus a minor point that the helo is higher and can cover ground a lot faster than the car as it has straight line ability but the car has to go where the road takes it.


EDIT: And at night they should be able to use the heat camera which will show where the car is/has been (if it's sitting at 145mph it's going to be hot and leave some form of trial).
