Full credit to the rouge republic of Western Australia on this one. What a friggin sick idea! Wish vicpol had the stones to do this.
Ha! A day later, I see the thing! It’s real all right:
Ha! It’d make a great pursuit car, but I expect maintenance costs and risk of repair after rough treatment excludes it from that role.
The rule of thumb for exotics/classics is that you should budget the same amount as the purchase price for maintenance.
That excludes insurance, which is usually at least 10% of the purchase price per year.
It also excludes depreciation, and mileage on exotics/classics is a killer.
Taking the above into account, I’d only think about a Maserati as a disposable car lol
Good point
Italian cops are famous for doing this. Especially thier coast guard reusing seized smuggling speedboats
