Finnish Police Get Shooting Brake Patrol Car

CLS Shooting Brake – specifically a 350 CDI with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 churning out 262 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Which may not be enough to catch a Koenigsegg wandering over the border from Sweden, but should be enough to intercept the average Volvo or Saab.

Was it not in Finland where some billionaire had to pay a $500.000 speeding fine? Money well spent.

Beats the heck out of the Vauxhall Astra the cops in England get. I think a Nevada Highway Patrol Hemi Charger could take it though.

I had to google that. Looks like their equivalent of a Ford Focus.

Really? That's a police car?
