These cars don't make any sense in the hands of police. If they need rapid response vehicles, sporty sedans with lots of horses are the better choice, especially since they can fit in all the equipment.

I remember seeing a GSG9 team (at that time, they were responsible for protecting such transports) following a money truck from the german treasury (see photo). They were following in a very old BMW 7 series...looked kind of funny, four guys with masks and no, they weren't thieves, they had a police light on the BMW.

This is an older photo but it shows how much stuff a rapid response team needs to store in a car. It may be less nowadays with modern equipment but still...
