The Czech police recently expanded its fleet by adding a Ferrari 458 Italia that had been stored away for a decade after a prior seizure. The update came from the official Czech police website and underscores the force’s approach to utilizing high-performance vehicles in specific operations.
Officials stated the car will participate in nationwide operations and that its capabilities could be leveraged against the most persistent offenders on Czech roads. The vehicle is also expected to aid in tracing stolen cars moving from the Czech Republic to neighboring regions, enhancing cross-border enforcement efforts according to police spokespeople.
The Ferrari, manufactured in 2011, has mileage that remains under 2,000 kilometers. Restoring the vehicle after years in storage required about 130,000 CZK, with an additional 300,000 CZK allocated to reinforce the car to meet police standards and duties. These investments reflect the department’s commitment to maintaining equipment that can support high-speed enforcement and rapid response scenarios.
In related incidents, reports surfaced about a separate case in the United States involving an elderly individual connected to a dealership that sold a faulty Jeep years ago. This matter highlights ongoing concerns about vehicle reliability and consumer protection, though it is not directly tied to the Czech police fleet.
