OK, you can drive today
One can just imagine the scrabble for car keys at the start of shifts in the Central Motorway Police Group, famed via their alter-ego BBC One’s Traffic Cops.
Their latest toy is the below Lotus Evora, a £50,000 168mph sports car.
Sadly for the guys & gals who patrol the motorways of the Midlands, the vehicle is only on a two-week loan.
You wouldn’t want to be the one who booked annual leave this January.

Does any Police Force really need a Lotus Evora ?

Similar in function to the Daimler Darts used by MetPol in the 1960s to combat speeding by bikers – worked then, would probably work now.

Assuming they get filled with the right fuel…….
Mind you, looking at the ‘spec for the cars I doubt they are up to the job…..
Composite body panels mean you cannot park it anywhere near anyone with a vindictive streak….and the alloy front chassis connected to the alloy central section means it will be very repairable, and just as easily damaged.
Chasing a 4WD would be a bit silly…..
