The German polizei have added what is believed to be the world's first all-electric police car, a Mini-E, to their fleet. The Mini-E, unveiled at the recent Essen Motor Show, is part of a campaign encouraging German car enthusiasts who modify their cars with aftermarket tuning products to do so within safe and legal limits.
Police began the campaign in 2005 in response to a massive increase in the number of shoddy and potentially dangerous tuning products entering European markets.
The Mini, complete with full police livery and flashing lights, has been given a thorough going-over by legendary tuning house AC Schnitzer. The result is an electric car with 175kW of power that can sprint to 100km/h in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 152km/h. Its range is claimed to be up to 240km between charges.
The car receives AC Schnitzer's racing suspension, front and rear skirts and bonnet vents, "MI 2" (7.5J x 18") alloy wheels and a high performance brake system from AC Schnitzer with four-pot fixed calipers on the front axle.
It is fitted with 18-inch AC Schnitzer alloys and Hankook Ventus S1 evo low-rolling-resistance tyres.
