A little silly to use such exotic vehicles for police work. Maintenance costs for such vehicles is very high and they are not designed for the rigors of police work, which is hard on a vehicle. I would suggest that the police buy less exotic vehicles which would be easily modified to attain the higher performance levels needed by them. It might be cool to patrol in a bentley or Aston, but its not cost effective.
