You Can't Outrun Nissan's Police Car
Nicknamed “Copzilla,” this modified Nissan GT-R will make its presence known at the 2017 New York Auto Show.
Joining the 2017 Nissan GT-R Track Edition and the 2018 Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition in New York is the Nissan GT-R Police Pursuit #23, featuring a police livery for the fictional Skyline Metro Police Department.
The flat black exterior has been accented by gold graphics, police lights on the roof and the front grille, a scrolling LED light bar, a “Skyline Metro” badge on the hood and door panels. There’s also slightly wider carbon fiber fender flares while the side mirrors and rear spoiler are also made of carbon fiber.

Performance remains untouched, so the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine continues to offer 565 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. But to make it more appealing on the show floor, Nissan has also installed a set of coilovers for a lower ride height and the factory wheels have been tossed out with massive 22-inch rollers, complete with spikes.

I can outrun Copzilla in any car if I slash it's tires first, or in a truck off road ... Nice car though.
