Polis Di Raja Malaysia (PDRM) dilaporkan telah membeli 25 unit kereta sport mewah Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution dengan transmisi manual dipercayai untuk kegunaan rasmi polis.
Kereta baru ini akan digunakan seiringan dengan kereta rasmi polis sedia ada seperti Proton Waja & Proton Iswara. Namun, kereta sport mewah idaman ramai anak muda zaman sekarang ini dikhabarkan akan digunakan untuk aktiviti penyamaran (undercover). Kemungkinan juga ianya lebih kepada kegiatan kejar mengejar, bukan untuk tujuan escort.
Jadinya, kita tidak akan nampak sebarang Lancer Evo dengan lambang polis dalam masa terdekat ini. Bagaimana agaknya rupa kereta Mitsubishi Lancer Evo versi polis? Nantikannya.
Untuk rekod, pasukan polis Jepun sudah menggunakan kereta jenama ini sebagai kegunaan rasmi pasukan mereka. Manakala, polis Jerman menggunakan kereta berjenama Lamborgini Gallardo, polis Perancis menggunakan kereta berjenama Peageut Sports GT, polis Sepanyol menggunakan kereta berjenama Audi TT, dan polis England menggunakan kereta berjenama Porsche.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian police has bought 25 high-powered Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution cars to catch criminals and speed hogs.
The cars, worth several millions of ringgit, would be fitted with safety gadgets and would sport the looks of police patrol cars.
Sources said the police had already taken possession and were testing the cars before sending them to the Road Transport Department for registration and approval.
“The cars are to be used in high-speed car chase, especially in cases of carjacking, kidnapping and hijacking.
“The speed of the cars would enable the police to catch up with criminals who often used modified turbo charged cars to escape,” they said.
Several police personnel have been sent to undergo intensive driving classes to ensure they are able to handle the super charged cars, they added.
The cars, they said, would also be used by the highway patrol unit to monitor speed hogs or illegal racers.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan confirmed the purchase but declined to elaborate.
