Hoons and street racers with hotted-up cars will stand no chance of making a clean getaway from the super cop car known as the Caparo Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV).
The RRV is a British-built sports car concept, which looks just like a Formula One car; the only difference being this one is made for the road as well as the track.
Caparo claims the RRV would have a top speed beyond 300km/h, with such aerodynamic down-force that it could even travel through a tunnel upside down; a great feature for high-speed chases.
The RRV is powered by a 428kW, 3.5-litre, V8 engine and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 2.5sec and 0-160km/h in just five seconds. It has a top speed of 320km/h.
Remember the old-fashioned adjustable front and rear wings? The creators of the RRV have added similar technology to aid in aerodynamics.
The RRV is just a concept model at present, developed by Mclaren F1 engineers and British supercar manufacturer Caparo. But if it ever hits the streets, speed hogs will be busy watching their rear-view mirrors for future cops' fast-approaching headlights.
