Nissan GT-R Copzilla

Fearsome 400kW-plus Nissan supercar given more authority with Skyline Metro Police Department police treatment

You can run, but you'll only die tired...

That's the message this new US ‘police’ car sends, with its quasi-futuristic-but-sorta-Mad-Max aesthetic, based on the Nissan GT-R.

We were hoping this angry power-tripping police pursuit vehicle would be powered by the NISMO-tuned GT-R banging out 441kW and 652Nm, but Copzilla pumps out 'only' 404kW and 628Nm.

Festooned with LED police lights and sirens, and fitted with hectic 22-inch alloy wheels – with spikes for extra menace – the car makes up for its lack of NISMO-ness with an incredibly sinister appearance.

There's a ram bar up front to smash perpetrators off the road, while at the rear the car features one of the wildest aero wings you'll ever see. The high-mount GT-style wing is connected to the roof by a horizontal spine and propped up by slim line struts in an "X" configuration.

Chuck in a wide body kit, gold highlights, adjustable coil-over suspension and mega road presence and you're looking at one of the most hostile-looking police cars ever made.

It'll be shown at the New York motor show alongside the regular Nissan GT-R and Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition.

By the way, it’s not actually going into service... So, you might like to withdraw your applications to serve and protect.
