Jaguar XF Being Evaluated as Police Pursuit Car in the UK

imagine a drunken dude in that car..with leather interior, throwing up all over. "hey watch the leather ive just waxed it!!!" to beautiful to be a police car :)

Thing is...the punishment was the fact that you would have to have sat in the back seat of a Vauxhall...but being taken to prison in this? Heck I wouldn't mind being pulled over every time I ran over asnail or something stupid like that.

It's a plot to make the young people join the force :P

Haha, nice! First the 280bhp Insignia, now this. Imagine if that was the XF-R!

This jag is too good for the pigs, jag XF's should be posing around Marbella and Monaco, not chasing after chavs!!!!!!

No a luxury car does not lose its snob appeal when it becomes a fleet car - in this case a police fleet vehicle. Here in the UK it is common for the police to use expensive cars, the Metropolitan police have a large fleet of 5-series and other constabularies make use of Range Rovers and Discovery's (LR3's to those from NA).

dont think the jag could be taken seriously as a police car, police car needs to be aggressive

I've seen jag police cars before... it looks awesome... i'll join the force for that

haha and lets say you DO get in a police pursuit, are the police gonna ram some teen with a stolen vauxhall vectra off the road with a jag? seems like a waste of money.

Finally A Decent Car For The Force. We've Got Proton Gen-2's In Yorkshire For Christ Sake!

I wonder how many criminals could outrun an Ariel Atom 500 in the right hands...

The police have used Jags for years. JLR already has a good relationship with the forces up and down the UK in the supply of Range Rovers and Discoveries. I makes sense. Anything to get some more cars of the doors.

lol dis is funii

now they cant sleep behind those wheels! :)

whoah ! first it was those thieving MPs , now it was Her Maj's Finest who want to cut in on the action ,too , in a country where taxes are one of the world's severest .

Hmmmmmmmmm, not a bad attempt from the leaping cat; I'm quite impressed. Buuuuuuut, I bet that only a small number of you would've seen what a few states here in Australia are using. Let me give you an example: In Queensland, the highway patrol use the Holden Monaro. Now the standard Monaro CV8 with the 5.7litre V8 produced a neat 245kw. However, that ammount of power was not enough ( especially for highway patrol use ); so a supercharger was employed, and after fitting that, with some new exhausts and a completely different ECU, the Monaroes of Queensland's Finest were developing power outputs north of 400kw and could do 0-100km/h in 4.2seconds. So out of the Jag diesel police car of the UK, or the biblically-powerful Monaro of Queensland's highway patrol, which would you people choose to drive if you signed up "To Protect and Serve" ( as the Americans put it )?

A V8 Monaro with a bolt-on supercharger as a police car? Sounds like reliability could quickly become a problem for something as hard pushed as a cop vehicle. Here in Western Australia, stock Holden Commmodores SSs and Ford Falcon XR8 are usually ran as police vehicles, although they are a bit thirsty, and not the most practical in tight city streets. Would take this Jag over any other prospective or actual police car.

Awesome. I'd pull over anyday with this tailing me.

You missed the point entirely, maybe you need a Global Warming 101 lesson. Handbooks been out for many decades now: 'deliver a C02 emissions figure of just 179g/km'. Nuff said. You Ozzies sure don't demand clean, efficient motors now, do you?!
