Hot cop car could Terminate your ride

Think again next time you consider attempting to evade Police pursuit after hearing those sirens wail – you might be unlucky enough to have one of the six new Nissan GT-R Police vehicles on your tail.

With 600bhp on tap, propelling the GT-R from standstill to 100km/h in a mere 3,5 seconds, this stealthy and agile Japanese ninja is guaranteed to assist our boys (and girls) in blue in their endeavour to rid our streets of the reckless drivers that endanger the lives of other motorists.

As if the GT-R’s aggressive aesthetics weren’t enough to send a shiver down the spin of perpetrators the vehicle has also been given the name, Terminator.

In order to give the vehicle maximum competence in the intensive application of police pursuit, Nissan’s performance division, NISMO was consulted in the development of the GT-R Terminator. The removal of standard luxury items that feature in the GT-R’s interior sees a weight reduction of 200 kilograms. Additional storage compartments have been fitted to house ‘cuffs and other important police paranephilia.

To ensure that the GT-R Terminators enjoy a long service life and are driven properly – these cannot, after all be as easily replaced as the standard Focus ST or Gti cop cars – those lucky enough be assigned to the task of commandeering the vehicles were subjected to thorough training by the Nissan Precision Driving Academy.

Forget the cool uniforms and the guns – never has there been a more exciting incentive to join the force.
