Australian Police Get McLaren and Aston Martin Supercars

Posted by samzenpus on from the do-you-know-how-fast-I-was-going? dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Australia's New South Wales police department has added a pair of new cars to their fleet that are going to be very hard to outrun, a McLaren 650S and an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. The vehicles aren't going to be used on the job, but as a promotional tool to help raise money for the families of fallen police. "These sponsorship arrangements are designed to promote community engagement with NSW Police. This agreement is designed to promote tomorrow's Police Legacy Wall to Wall ride and celebrate 100 years of Women in Policing," a police spokesperson said in a statement.

    I'm sure these are the last of the V8 Interceptors the Australians will buy. They'll get used eventually for that purpose.

    The correct question should be: by any chance is one of the officers assigned to drive it called Max Rockatansky?
