Probably specified by a second party manufacturer. Different jursidictions have different requirements about the visibility needs for service vehicles. The aeros probably are bad, but that is also probably secondary to the need to be noticed. Doubt Brabus had one iota to do with the bar. Probably specified by a second party manufacturer.

This is something that brabus had made as a flight of fancy in order to promote thmselves. They might donate it to the police later. The gallardo cop car was a present from lambo to the italian police. Ferrari and lambo used to do this so that the police wouldnt be to harsh on ppl they caught speeding in their cars.

Plus, i think it would be pretty good around corners, it isn't just tuned to its engine complaining about the weight? i mean,l it’s a cop car, it needs to be able to take some hits, that is also why it can “only” do 0-60 in 4 sec, give it some credit, that is still fast, most cars in the world can’t do that

At 200+ im guessing aerodynamics becomes an issue.

Atleast the roof will start pulling where it is bolted down from. Wanna know how to loose one of these if you see yourself getting pursued by one? Just exit and start taking turns, something this probably won't do well. All that weight will definately show in the twisties. Egbert,
