The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) has incorporated a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray into its fleet.

The sports car was seized in collaboration with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) Task Force, so it cost the public coffers nothing. After modifications for police use, the vehicle will be used for both patrolling and promotional actions.

The car received the official FHP paint job, customized wheels, carbon badges, and emergency lights. Inside, it is equipped with the necessary tools to target high-speed drivers, such as a printer for issuing fines. However, it does not have the structure to transport detainees.

It is a special 70th anniversary edition of the Corvette, equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and topping out at 312 km/h. With this performance, few vehicles will be able to escape the new patrol car of the Florida Highway Patrol.
