Police Scirocco

Volkswagen coupe transformed into stylish German chase-car

Another week, another cool Police car. This time it's the turn of the VW Scirocco, the Golf GTI-based coupe that put in a good performance at evo Car of the Year. It follows on from the Lamborghini LP560-4 police car that the Italians are just about to put into good use.
