West Midlands traffic unit has unveiled Britain's faster ever police car.
Lotus has provided one of its £55,000 162mph Evora models to the force for use on the M5, M6, M42, M6 toll road and other major routes, Rex Features reports.
PC Angus Nairn said: "It's a very quick car and we hope it will prove an effective deterrent to anyone thinking of speeding or trying to outrun us.
"It has incredible performance yet still does around 30mph to the gallon. It will attract a lot of attention on the motorways but that is the whole idea - it will remind drivers of the need to keep to their speed limits at all times".
