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 (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.

 

yeowza

could've installed a more fitting light bar though.

 

Man, that light bar is gonna kill the aerodynamics since it will probably render the rear spoiler almost completely useless. For guys that stress safe tuning that's a pretty serious boo boo.

 

Looks like Barney Phife is driving. LOL

Just might have a shot at it!!!

 

the old design was worse:



However, I can tell you from personal experience that these have no problem running 250+ KPH. I was being followed by one near Stuttgart in 1987 with a Koeng Umbau 560 Coupe similar to this but in white...God I miss that thing. Import laws at the time precluded import:

 

Hmmm... they should of went with it as an unmarked squad. Won't out run? Lets take a new Z06 made in America over there. Then we'll see, but how fast is 300 km? I wonder who gets to drive it, the chief? And who pays for the tires and maintenance? I can see this car getting any cop who drives it into trouble. Very nice/fast car + police lights/car + autobahn = fun in my books. And if that cop is a girl on the left then I don't think I want to go to germany anytime soon. And if it is a dude, it looks like someone whooped him with the ugly stick. And one last thing, its good to see tax money being spent on important things. But I'd rather see fast cop cars, with the gov't throwing money down the drain that way then throwing an ungodly amount of $$$ rebuilding another country instead of helping our own.

 

Wow, they could use that speaker as a drogue chute!

 

And how about the cops in Italy?! No outrun neither.

Not only the ride but the police girl looks better too ...

 

Yes Officer, "Schwing" I'm guilty, please hand cuff me, and I'll be ready for my interrogation.
