I have covered police issued supercars in the past, but it is typically a special car per force.  In Seoul, Korea, the crime fighters can brag about having not just a supercar, but three impressive supercars at their disposal!

And what luxury supercars exactly do they have on their force?  A Ferrari F360, a Porsche 911 and a Lamborghini Gallardo.  That is an exotic arsenal at its finest, I will consider them Seoul’s finest.  So why does Seoul need such a sophisticated fleet of luxury patrol cars to take out the indigenous Daewoos, Kias and Rickshaws?

I like to think it is an intimidation tactic.  The poor souls of Seoul gripping the wheel of their four-cylinder Euro-style autos know damn well they have zero chance of escape once they sink there eyes into a Ferrari with tacky police lights fixed to the top.  

I can almost picture them cranking up the A/C in efforts to calm down, beads of sweat forming on their brows.  Offending motorists may as well hang their heads and admit instant defeat while that A/C sucks the last of the power from their diminutive daily drivers.

I also have an inkling that the police officers behind the wheels of these luxury cop cars are in high demand by the ladies (and gents should their be a female officer on the force).  I know if I were pulled over, I would roll out the red carpet and likely want a photo op, although I am not certain how well that would go over with the officer on duty.
