Czech police transform stolen Ferrari into patrol car

Jul 26 2022

The Czech police have recently announced that they turned a previously stolen 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia into a patrol car which will be used in extreme cases.

The car was previously painted racing red but has now been converted into a standard police car grey livery with neon yellow and blue reflective stripes.

Dříve sloužilo zločincům, teď bude pomáhat a chránit. Ode dneška můžete na silnicích spatřit policejní Ferrari. Jde o majetek pocházející z trestné činnosti a policisté jej budou využívat ke speciálním účelům. Více v TZ 👉 https://t.co/wTt0FkJrKR pic.twitter.com/KEzMgqqOlq

— Policie ČR (@PolicieCZ) July 25, 2022

In a recent statement, the police confirmed that the car will be used to chase down other stolen cars and take down dangerous illegal road races. The operation was also very cheap considering the usual prices for similar models; costing the Czech police only around €12,000 to fully modify the car into a police car.

The vehicle will be used by a special surveillance department and driven only by trained police officers. Normally they sell cars they seized in order to finance damage done by offenders however this time they decided to not only keep the Ferrari but also use it.

Places such as Italy and Dubai also utiliSe supercars as police cars. The Italian police force actually have an agreement with Lamborghini which sees them use their cars to transport urgent blood supplies to accident sites.
