Painted in the traditional black and white scheme, with the inscription “Police” on the doors and red lights on the roof, the car exudes grandeur and modernity.
Its presence marks a new phase for policing in the region, bringing not only cutting-edge technology, but also a symbol of strength and prestige.
The Honda NSX was donated by a track enthusiast
Contrary to what many might imagine, the vehicle was not purchased with public funds nor confiscated in police operations. The Honda NSX was donated by Toshiya Kobayashi, a entrepreneur 43-year-old real estate professional with a passion for motorsports.
During the delivery event, Kobayashi was moved to tears when he saw the car on a slow demonstration lap around the circuit: "That's great!", he exclaimed. He even joked about the speed: “Maybe they were being a little reserved about the speed”.
The donation, valued at 25 million yen (approximately R$996.168,00), included all the modifications necessary to transform the supercar into an official patrol vehicle.
According to the portal The Drive, the new police NSX will be featured in a parade during the SuperGT race, scheduled for August, at the Suzuka circuit itself.
The public appearance will be a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to get a closer look at the impressive vehicle, which should attract even more attention to the motorsport event.
Japan has had other supercars in its police fleet
This isn't the first time that sports cars have hit the streets of Japan. Models such as the Nissan GT-R, Skyline, 350Z and even the Mazda RX-7 have already been integrated into police service, maintaining the same characteristic black and white look.
However, the use of these models is generally limited to events, demonstration patrols and educational activities.
While Japan is attracting attention with its Honda NSX police cars, the city of Dubai is already famous for boasting a police fleet made up of true dream machines.
There, you can find vehicles such as the Bugatti Veyron, Porsche 918 Spyder, Lamborghini Aventador and other breathtaking super sports cars.
In Brazil, rarity stands out in Santa Catarina
Although these are isolated cases, Brazil has also had its moments of luxury in policing. The most recent involves a Porsche 911 Turbo, seized by the Federal Police during Operation Toppare, in Balneário Camboriú (SC), in 2024.
O vehicle, previously belonging to a criminal organization, was transformed into a vehicle and began to be used in educational activities and special operations.
The use of high-performance cars as vehicles has gained a symbolic role in several countries.
In addition to serving as policing tools, they also represent the decapitalization of criminal organizations and the intelligent use of seized assets.
In the case of the Brazilian Porsche, for example, the car became an attraction in exhibitions and awareness campaigns against organized crime.
