With the MPH show set to start today at Earls Court in London, Jeremy Clarkson and co. have teamed up with the Metropolitan Police to produce what really can only be described as an awesome looking Caparo T1 RRV (Rapid Response vehicle).

Capable of accelerating to 100mph in just 5 seconds (yes thats five seconds), and capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 mph, this Caparo T1 RRV would be deployed on the M25 Motorway.

As you would expect this is purely just for show and will never make it onto the british roads but if you do find one of these chasing you down, here's a piece of advice from WCF - don't waste your time trying to get away, this is one car you wll not outrun.

MET POLICE - RAPID RESPONSE VEHICLE

Getaway drivers and outside lane lovers beware! The Met Police has a teamed up with Brit supercar manufacturer, Caparo, to conceive a brand new Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) for the future – on show at MPH ’07 this weekend.

Capable of accelerating from a Police lay-by to 100mph in just 5 seconds and onto a top speed of 200mph, the Caparo T1 RRV would be deployed to hunt down car criminals within the M25.

Like everything else in the Met Police’s armoury, this bespoke RRV is intended as a deterrent. Just check your mirrors next time you fancy breaking the speed limit!

if anyone here has a good memory the bugatti can reach 253mph and this piece only goes 200mph, and here's another piece of advice for the british, have sence and get a audi R10.
