UK Police receive Ferrari 612

Its pretty awesome to think that as a police officer in England you might have the opportunity to drive a specially prepared Ferrari 612 on your daily traffic patrol routine! Thats right folks, Scotland Yard has just been handed the keys to a brand spanking new ‘Blu Tour de France’ Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

The 612 was presented to British Police as a pace car (of sort) to accompany the 1500 miles of the UK leg of Ferrari’s 60th Anniversay Relay, a worldwide tour that has already been through the Middle East, Far East, North America, Parts of Europe and arrives today in the UK.

The 612 will be driven by officers from 5 law enforcement agencies across the UK passing through the British Isles from Belfast to Silverstone making appearances in Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and London. All drivers are volunteers and are driving in their free time. I am pretty sure that nobody had any complaints about not

This version of the 612 is packed with all the toys you would imagine a ‘Limited Edition British Police 007 style’ car should have including rocket launchers, 20mm M61 Vulcan and flame throwers as well as the Ferrari GTS Handling package (why is this even an option on the 612 ?).

Just like the Lamborghini LP640 that was loaned to them back in November for the MPH ‘06 show in Birmingham, this 612 isn’t for keeps.

1000 Horsepower? On BioFuel? You’ve got to be kidding…

Koenigsegg is a relatively new supercar producer, releasing a several primetime cars in the past few years, including the 655 HP CC8S, folowed by the 806 HP CCR and finally the American-ized version, the CCX which complies with US impact regulations as well as lower octane fuel. Still, even being tuned for the U.S., Koenigsegg was still able to push out over 800 HP from the CCX, quite impressive, by any supercar standard, especially that the car weighs 2600 lbs, much less than the Enzo’s 3000 lb curb weight.

So, Koenigsegg already managed to trample the Enzo by both power and weight, but that wasn’t enough. Enter the CCXR, which has 1000 horsepower and runs on BioFuel! This incredible power was made possible due to the simple fact that the ethanol in biofuel has the positive side effect of cooling the combustion chambers, as well as a higher octane value, well over 100 RON, which gives the high power.

This is truley an incredible achievement among the supercar elite, especially as the Koenigsegg tips the scale at, yes, only 2600 lbs. A better power-to-weight ratio than the almighty Bugatti Veyron and certainly the environmentally friendliness to impress your mother! What more could you ask for?
