average driver will be nailed by that thing...if it is actually a police car.

For some reason police forces like to livery up a fancy car, and then never use it. I've seen Ferraris etc at motor shows like that, never used on the road though.

It is a very poor police car. It has no room to hold all the kit they need. It would have to be basically a chase only vehicle. Something that a bike and chopper do a lot better.
