    Getaway drivers and outside lane lovers in Britain beware. The British Met Police has a teamed up with the supercar manufacturer Caparo to conceive a brand new Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) for the future.

    Capable of accelerating from a Police lay-by to 100 mph in just 5 seconds and onto a top speed of 200 mph, the Caparo T1 RRV would be deployed to hunt down car criminals within the M25.

    Like everything else in the Met Police’s armory, this bespoke RRV is intended as a deterrent.

    When in Britain, just check your mirrors next time you fancy breaking the speed limit!

    but see here's the thing...

    the cop has to take like 30 seconds to get out of the 4pnt. and door

    that's plenty of lead

    The fastest things I've seen here on Long Island are Chevy Camaro SS highway patrol cars, but I don't think they're still in service. I havent seen one since I was a kid.
