Its pretty awesome to think that as a police officer in England you might have the opportunity to drive a specially prepared Ferrari 612 on your daily traffic patrol routine! Thats right folks, Scotland Yard has just been handed the keys to a brand spanking new ‘Blu Tour de France’ Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

The 612 was presented to British Police as a pace car (of sort) to accompany the 1500 miles of the UK leg of Ferrari’s 60th Anniversay Relay, a worldwide tour that has already been through the Middle East, Far East, North America, Parts of Europe and arrives today in the UK.

The 612 will be driven by officers from 5 law enforcement agencies across the UK passing through the British Isles from Belfast to Silverstone making appearances in Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and London. All drivers are volunteers and are driving in their free time. I am pretty sure that nobody had any complaints about not

This version of the 612 is packed with all the toys you would imagine a ‘Limited Edition British Police 007 style’ car should have including rocket launchers, 20mm M61 Vulcan and flame throwers as well as the Ferrari GTS Handling package (why is this even an option on the 612 ?).

Just like the Lamborghini LP640 that was loaned to them back in November for the MPH ‘06 show in Birmingham, this 612 isn’t for keeps.
