While Michigan cops are switching over from Crown Vics to Impalas, the UK police are holding fast with their police cruisers and have debuted the redesigned Volvo V70 in police spec with a new livery. Volvo touts the V70’s interior space and increased payload capacity of 724kg (up from 539kg in a standard model) as reasons why bobbies in the UK favor the V70, telling us that these features “ensure that the vehicle can safely transport all the equipment necessary for modern policing, including heavy firearms when the situation demands.” Boo-yah. So don’t go approaching any V70s that look like this in the UK if you’re itching for a fight. Chances are they’re packing a lot of heat in their rear underfloor lockable storage area.
