Porsche 911

For decades, Autobahnpolizei (German for Highway Patrol) used Porsches as patrol cars. Its white and green color scheme became a common sighting on Germany’s roads. It featured a heavy-duty suspension and brakes as well as the latest communication equipment. Also, the Porsche 911, a high-speed pursuit car, is used in Belgium and the Netherlands as well (via CVRPCA).

The first Porsche police cars were the classic 356, which entered service in the mid-50s. Based on the VW Beetle, the 356 was a durable but relatively fast vehicle. However, when the 911 was released, it had the same qualities but with more power and performance. Porsche even released a special police package for European law enforcement agencies.
