Britains wildest police cars

28 July 2009 Crims beware the police will catch you quicker than ever. Thats particularly true in Humberside, where they now have a 168mph Lexus IS F in their arsenal. As fearsome as the Japanese M3 rival is, its far from the maddest jam sandwich on the beat. Stuart Milne and Ian Bartholomew bring you the police cars youd least like to see in your mirrors. Its not all fast cars and kicking in doors for the nations traffic patrol units. Well, maybe just a little bit. Humberside police took an incredible 12 months choosing between a number of high-performance vehicles before plumping for the hardest Lexus ever built. That must have been a tough year at the office. But there is a serious side to it. The car needs to be tough enough for active duty and plenty of space in the back for the local villains. According to Humbersides bosses, the IS-F remained stable at high speed, despite lugging £30,000-worth of computers and radio gear.

Itll reach 62mph in 4.8 seconds, before hitting a M3-slaying 168mph top speed. But shy it aint, with a pair of vertically-stacked exhausts either side of the rear bumper emitting a pure NASCAR roar on the move. However, in the performance stakes, even the Lex gets left standing by some of the baddest police cars in town. Lamborghini Murcielago and Caparo T1 anyone?
