Beware, ye delinquents, desperados and deuces: Jaguar has just unveiled its police-spec XF.
We weren't so keen on the blues-and-twos Vauxhall Insignia we showed you last week, but we have to confess that Jag's big exec saloon makes a most excellent jam sandwich. Unless you're being flagged down onto the hard shoulder of the M4 by one, that is.
Unfortunately - or perhaps fortunately, depending on your criminal intentions - it's the diesel V6 ‘S', not the full-fat, 510bhp V8-powered XF-R. Fuel bills for the Old Bill, no doubt.
Even so, the 3.0-litre diesel XF will hit 60mph in just under six seconds while returning 42mpg, 179g/km of CO2... and a steady stream of scallies to the local jailhouse.
Jaguar says the XF-S is currently being evaluated by police forces across the country. It's what Morse would have wanted...
Now watch Jeremy, Richard and James buy a white van for under £1,000... and race the Stig in a police car:

What do you think?

I think the diesel 'S' is fast enough. If it's not, well, at least there aren't many Veyrons and Paganis breaking the law.

I like how people slag off british cop cars whilst blatantly ignoring the fleets of Evos and Imprezas running up and down the trunk roads. Do none of you watch Police Interceptors? Jeez. That said, i'm all for jag-driving coppers. More incentive to sign up if you ask me :P

Yes, this is what we need! Not exactly a great urban police chase car with a length such as that, but more than adequate for replacing the old Vauxhall Omegas and last-gen 5-Series'.
