10 Greatest Cop Cars | FOPConnect
1965-1997 Porsche 911
Every law enforcement agency has its own particular challenges. For the German police who patrol the famed Autobahn, that challenge is keeping up with traffic flow on roads that often have no speed limits at all. The solution is the Porsche 911.
The 911 has never been an inexpensive car, but for the specialized duty along the Autobahn it’s a logical patrol vehicle. Particularly during the 1960s, when the 911 itself was still new, the Polizei Porsches became iconic in their cream and green livery. However it wasn’t just the Germans who chose the 911 as their highway prowler. The Dutch highway patrol has also used 911s, painting its cars orange and white.
As more conventional sedans have grown more capable and powerful, the need for 911 police vehicles on the Autobahn has diminished. But as late as the 1990s Porsche was still providing cars for this duty. And one of these later cars is on display at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany.
