Police in Midlands have a new weapon in their fight against unruly road users as the first ever police-spec Jaguar XF is ready to go on patrol, reports Carpages.co.uk.

Several high performance vehicles have been purchased by the Central Motorway Police Group, which patrols motorways across Staffordshire, Mercia and the West Midlands.

Based on the award-winning Jaguar XF Diesel S model and containing the same engine, the tailored vehicles feature a roof mounted light bar and Home Office-specification ‘police pack’ along with a white flashing LED lights inside the front grille.

Geoff Cousins, managing director for Jaguar Cars UK, said: "Police drivers demand the very best from their vehicles – power, performance, safety and comfort are all very important, while their fleet managers are looking at good environmental credentials and strong residual values to ensure value for money."

Earlier this year, Jaguar unveiled the fastest ever version of its supercharged XKR coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, the new vehicle can hit speeds of 174mph.
