British police look to Formula 1 for help
Thursday 15th May 2008
Police in the UK could soon give speeding crooks a bit of a shock by chasing them down in 200mph Formula 1 supercars.
The space-age looking machine, the Caparo T1, is a two-seater 200mph car that is designed by the same engineers who made the McLaren F1 car driven by Lewis Hamilton.
According to the Daily Star, the Metropolitan Police are looking to use it as a rapid response vehicle to react to 999 calls after the car was given the all-clear to be used on UK roads.
A police source said: "The Caparo would ensure officers can get to the scene of a crime faster. It's certainly something we'll be looking at getting."
