Try not to flaut the traffic rules when you are in Italy or the United Kingdom, as you never know when you'll be involved in a high-speed chase with police officers who drive Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

These supercars allow cops to rev up the engines and (legitimately) speed in.

In an email contribution to STOMP, reader Zpeedster said: "You'll be sure to take a second look if you ever spot these super police cars prowling the streets near you."

However, he also suggests that tax payers' money or speeding ticket fines could have gone to police coffers to fund these fast cars. Is it an effective way of law enforcement or is it a waste of taxpayers' money?

Singapore's Police Force uses the Subaru Impreza. Does this, then, do the job well enough?

Some of these cars are still being used widely in Europe, some are things of the past, but nonetheless, take a look at the world's fastest and hottest police cars.
