Default Fastest police car in the world

TechArt Tunes the Porsche 911 Carrera S for TUNE IT! SAFE!

TUNE IT! SAFE! (www.tune-it-safe.de) is the name of a new initiative started by the Bundesverkehrsministerium (German Federal Traffic Ministry), VDAT (Association of German Automobile Tuners) and the ESSEN-MOTOR-SHOW.

TechArt Automobildesign (Röntgenstraße 47, D-71229 Leonberg-Höfingen, phone +49 / (0) 71 52 / 9 33 9-0, fax +49 / (0) 71 52 / 93 39 33, Internet www.techart.de ) supports the new campaign aimed at increasing awareness for safe and legal tuning with the world's fastest police car. The Porsche 911 Carrera S has been completely modified by TechArt and reaches a top speed of some 300 km/h thanks to 370-hp / 272-kW performance tuning.

In addition to sporting the official green police markings and the light bar on the roof the world's fastest police car is also a prime example for professional automobile tuning. TechArt increases power output of the 3.8-liter flat six with the TA 097/S1 performance kit by 15 hp / 11 kW. Thus equipped the silver and green coupe accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and breaches the 300-km/h barrier.

To achieve even better directional stability and therefore active safety the Carrera S was fitted with a TechArt aerodynamic-enhancement kit that was tested extensively in the wind tunnel. It is joined by TechArt Formula 20-inch five-spoke wheels with 235/30 ZR 20 and 305/25 ZR 20 tires, and by the custom-calibrated TechArt Vario sport suspension with struts that are adjustable in height, bound and rebound.

In the interior an ergonomically shaped TechArt sport steering wheel with airbag ensures a safe handle on the performance.

TechArt 2005.
I have many more from thier media site, but I am too lazy at the moment to resize and upload all of these at the moment.

Looks like a normal silver Porsche with an ugly lightbar and a green stripe

A turbo on a 'vette would net over 15hp. More like putting exhaust on a 'vette and calling it the fastest cop car in the US.

Yeah, I read the whole article you quoted and it said the mods made an additional 15hp. Big fucking deal. I don't care if it walks all over a 'vette, that's not the point of my argument.

*Edit - They put big rims on it too, my bad.
