| The fastest police cars Bravado and bragging rights if you ask me: There is fierce competition for the world's fastest police car with the Italians and Germans vying for the title. Up until now the police prix d'or has been held by a Lamborghini Gallardo which an Italian police patrol is using on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway. It is capable of hitting a top speed of 192mph, which is probably ample to keep up with the most reckless of motorists The world's fastest police cars , |

| That's hilarious. But I gotta love the Dodge Charger/Challenger that I see around here. Perhaps not the most fast, but certainly gets a "cool"  factor.

| The buzz of a V10 or V12 are nice but nothing compared to 7 litre V8 at full throttle.... That's the sound that could start a volcanic eruption!

| Yep, I remember my grandpa talking about them, I think it was 120 Mph for standard, and even more if needed.

| Was any of the Mopar police cars ever equipped the Hemi, or was it "only" the 440?
