A police-car buyer's conference is scheduled for today in Cheltenham, England. Among the many vehicles exhibited will be the entire Lexus lineup, adorned in full law-enforcement get-up.
The Japanese automaker will display the RX400h and GS450h hybrid models along with the top-end LS600h. Also shown will be the IS200d and IS250 in covert trim, as well as Lexus' standard gasoline and diesel products. According to Lexus, its automobiles make "a compelling proposition" for law-enforcement and other emergency and public service organizations.
While having luxury police cruisers speeding around a city may seem like a strange idea, it has happened before. In 2006, the Wiltshire Constabulary added the GS450h to their inventory as a traffic cruiser.
Toyota is also among the participants and will be showing off their Land Cruiser and Hilux.
BMW, Fiat, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen will make an appearance at the conference as well, which is scheduled to take place at the Cheltenham Racecourse starting on September 2.
