We lived in the area around Stuttgart when I was younger. I remember getting pulled over by one of those before. We were on the Autobahn in a DeTomaso, going the other direction, hauling a$$. We saw them and gave them the finger and continued on. They apparently saw us and took the next offramp, turned around and caught us 3 or so exits later. We got a hefty fine too. The Autobahn always has center dividers so they couldn't just turn around.
Those were the days!

I recall seeing a press photo with Butzi Porsche in it that recognized the 1,000,000 Porsche and it was a police car like the one above. Hope I have my facts correct.

Never, EVER, give a finger in Germany. It is the ultimate insult. You were lucky they did not take you to the "hoosegow" where someone would have drilled you a new one!!!

You were lucky.

I guess it would be great for all the reasons we love them, but how impracticle for the officer - ingress/egress, sidearm, gear storage, laptop in the pass seat . . . could you imagine taking one across the median?

Do they use them for taxi service after the police are done with them like here in the US?

Maybe that's why Porsche offered the Carrera 4?

This photo from the Porsche museum shows the 1,000,000th Porsche in the background and it is a 993 Police car.

Car was "loaned" to the Dutch Police for a very short period with the understanding that they would return it to the factory for the collection.
