They'll be targetting EGR blank plates and DPF straight-thrus in notorious hotspots like the Gibb River Rd, the Simpson and the Cape real soon

Haha, a little out of their jurisdiction maybe but, I bet they would be itching to give it a thrash on the dirt.

Not a chance....it will be lucky to see a dirt road, let alone offroad.....show vehicle only.

Not sure if it's a loan vehicle or whether WE pay for it ??

I think it would have been donated.

Funded by the NSW Centre For Road Safety.  So, yeah, paid for by our taxes.

"The vast majority of motoring enthusiasts are safe drivers who do the right thing ... but once more people realise how much technology we have to detect dangerous drivers, hopefully they'll be less inclined to break the law," said Assistant Commissioner Hartley.

This is paraphrase for - OUR BOYS IN BLUE WANT TO SEE WHAT SHE'LL DO !!!

Go on a narrow winding track with trees and that F150 can't follow you.
We had a F150 in our club and he came on one trip with that car and he went nowhere. He couldn't get the turn around a tree, too large.

[Steffo1]

Someone's been watching too, too much Yank tele, methinks
Have to agree with WilSurf on the off road ability of that thing. The ramp over would be very limiting.

I don't get it. The police already have the toughest cars.

[alnjan]

They want something to tow with

[WilSurf]

GUEY, I can't see it. There is a ugly car in front of it.

Maybe funded by traffic fines! The NSW cops/RTA seem to know how to generate income!

Though to be fair to  they wouldn't have to issue fines if people didn't exceed the speed limit.... (maybe that statement needed to go into the how to start an argument thread.... )

Lol.

[speewa158]

Just hit the road & drive till it runs out of juice that 6.something V8 would suck it dry as you watch 

[dales133]

Ramp over sucks but there jump ability is awesome thanks.

Immensely capable yet refined vehicle would be the words your looking for....

It's used to break down barriers between police and drivers that normally wouldn't interact.

We used to have a genuine stock XBGT Falcon highway patrol car that we would take to car shows and other events and it was a fantastic ice breaker.

Not sure if it really achieve anything but that the idea behind it.

Same as the vic police running drag cars years ago, same idea. Not sure if they still do it
