"Police have upgraded the traditional patrol car.
Audi has loaned the Lake Illawarra Local Area Command a brand new $180k S7 Sportback for use in its community and youth engagement programs. The S7 is powered by the German brand's 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol unit that pumps out an impressive 331kW and 550Nm. It is also capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds and is limited to a top speed of 250km/h. The livery for the S7 is an interpretation of a design chosen by almost 800 facebook fans, and the cars aim is increase the relationship between the local police and the community. "Our use of the S7 Sportback will encourage people of all ages to introduce themselves to local police, using the car itself to help start up a conversation." says Commander of Lake Illawarra LAC, Superintendent Zoran Dzevlan. This isn't the first example of Audi loaning a high-performance vehicle to the NSW Police Force, it previously had sent a RS4 Avant to the same local area command. While Porsche has also ponied up a Panamera and 911 Coupe for use at community events in NSW over the last few years." http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/n...20-gs7dck.html

Not a great fan of the 7 series of Audis. Look awkward.
But hey, love to be the cop driving this around, luxury at its finest and power/speed to boot.

Not a traditional Patrol car at all. Like the GTF and Mustang that was at my son's recent school carnival ... just a show car.

And from a marketing perspective implies reliability and real world performance. I am sure Audi would also see it as making in roads on getting a regular supply of HWP cars It is funny how we all think cops dont deserve a certain sort of car because of its price, but when you consider they are leased so its only really the depreciation and running costs and they are putting in over a $100,000 worth of equipment (radios number plate scanners video recording computer terminals radar etc), the price of the car is kind of irrelevant |
