No it isn't

The German Polizei livery is simply for show – the car is being used as a PR exercise, turning up at tuning shows to discourage German chavs from speeding in their souped-up Opels – but the Rocket itself is very much real and yours for a mere £235,178.

Its owned by Brabus It is not owned by the police. Its used by Brabus as a show car, and funnily enough - for media coverage

But part of the promotion is by the Federal Traffic Ministry, so I'll give you that one It can't be used on the road by the police though
