The Czech police have proudly announced that the Czech public will see Ferrari police cars on the road. According to the Guardian reported on July 25, czech police recently converted a seized Ferrari sports car into a police car chasing criminals. Top supercars are not new, and many countries around the world are using supercars: Dubai police have the world's most arrogant supercar teams, Italian police continue to receive Lamborghini sports cars...
Czech police modified Ferraris as police cars, saying "not very expensive"
The Czech police's sports car, which reportedly reached a speed of 321 kilometers per hour, was a Ferrari "458 Italia" produced in 2011, which was originally a classic racing car red and sold for 150,000 pounds (about 1.22 million yuan), and the police painted the sports car with yellow and blue reflective stripes and installed police lights on the top.

The Czech police posted an introductory video of the supercar police car on Twitter, and the police car was edited to look more stylish. The tweet read: "It used to serve criminals and now it will help and protect." Starting today, you can see Ferrari police cars on the road. This is property from criminal activity that the police use for special purposes. ”
But Czech police said the supercar was not a luxury and they modified it for around £10,300 (about 83,000 yuan), "which is about the same as the cost of a new Skoda hatchback." "The car will be used by a special department and will only be driven by trained police officers.
The car will be used to hunt down stolen cars and crack down on illegal drag racing, the police statement said. Zli, head of the Czech police's traffic department, said the car would be against some of the "most aggressive" criminals across the country.
Czech police said the Ferrari was not the most expensive sports car they seized. Police confiscated 900 cars last year, the vast majority of which were resold, and the proceeds were used to make up for the losses caused by violators, "We kept some as official vehicles, but not luxury cars like Ferrari." ”

According to CNN, Dubai's police supercar fleet includes a custom-made Aston Martin One-77 (the series has only produced 77), a Bentley Continental GT, three hybrid Porsche Panameras and two BMW i8s, CNN reported. One of the Bugatti Veyrons in the convoy is speeding up to 407 km/h.
But rather than chasing fugitives, Dubai's supercar police cars prefer to patrol around Dubai Mall districts and beach residences to attract the attention of tourists.

Major Sultan Al Mali of the Dubai Police General Directorate of Traffic and Rescue explained that the role of the convoy is to break down barriers between the police and the public, "We don't just want to show off with cars, we want to show visitors how friendly the Dubai police are here." ”
Dubai police also said another role of these sports cars is to promote gender equality in Dubai, "the most expensive cars: Ferrari and Bentley are both driven by female police officers." ”
Countries around the world like to strengthen police cars, including the use of the most expensive cars on the market. Many police cars have been modified and are so unique that they are often the envy of car owners around the world. In addition to Dubai, the police of Italy, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries have actually joined the ranks of supercar police cars.

The Italian police, for example, have a partnership with Lamborghini and have received several sports cars in recent years. In 2017, Lamborghini donated a new "Hurricane" supercar to the Italian National Police for use as a police car, dedicated to reconnaissance operations and medical purposes, such as emergency delivery of blood or transplanted organs.
