Wow, nice video animation....very clean modern lines, a bit wicked looking, and very stealth with the light bar inetgrated into the front roof line!

TRMiller · 09-21-2007, 02:53 PM

Video is a little frightening.

right out of Robocop

Keep in mind, in our new version of 'democracy' you are guilty (and disappeared) until somebody can raise enough fuss to have them locate your body and try to apply charges to you.

i was expecting something sportier, like the Lambo Police Car.... but i do like the integrated lights... thats a good idea!
Another tool for them to harass us with!

charliex · 09-21-2007, 03:07 PM

with the performance specs, i don't think 'gotcha' and 'see ya' are entirely accurate

ritcci · 09-21-2007, 05:35 PM

bad choice of marques for this. what they should build or what would make more sense is a reconnaissance military or something that would require agility and minimalism.

edit: but whatever if lotus can put some coin in its pocket then rad....

Thas car is UGH-lee....

And as a Lotus driver I feel betrayed that they make cop cars.....

Doesn't look very safe with the shiny metal bars front & back.

Heck, they could save a ton of money and simply bring back the Lotus Carlton.

from the title i was rather vexed and troubled how the police will perform a Pit Manuver with a sub 2,000 lbs Elise/Exige Police Car.

The Sussex police have an Exige S outfitted for service. It was at the Hethel event yesterday. I saw it helping out someone having a problem on the A11.
