R191 PKH is Humberside Police’s awesome Subaru Impreza. Upgraded by Subaru specialists Prodrive, this four wheel drive, turbocharged car is highly suited to chasing cars. The suspension has been upgraded so that it can take speed humps at 70 miles per hour, and it has lightening quick acceleration and incredible road-holding. These factors mean that when a suspect car drives flat out through a red traffic light, the police can slow down, negotiate the junction at a safe speed and accelerate to catch up with the suspect with relative ease.
The side shot of the car. Notice the spoiler and gold alloy wheels. This car has a top speed of 150 mph and can get to 60 mph from a standing start in 5 seconds. This ‘pursuit car’ was bought for its performance and because it stands out, almost acting as a crime deterrent.
The rear view. This was the first Subaru Impreza police vehicle to be used in the UK. It replaced the Ford Escort Cosworth in Humberside and its police life lasted from 1998 until 2001.
