Canadian police have adopted a brand new technique to draw new recruits. The Ontario Provincial Police showcased a Corvette Z06 cop automobile on the 2023 Canadian Worldwide Auto Present within the hopes of wooing younger officers to the drive.
The Corvette Z06 cop automobile was placed on show by the OPP Freeway Security Division. The supercar was wrapped in police colors and OPP decals. It additionally sported a ‘3-088’ decal, which is claimed to characterize the racing numbers of Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Whereas the Z06 could have been wrapped only for the event, it did sport flashing pink and blue lights.

The Corvette Z06 packs a mid-mounted 5.5-liter V8 engine that includes a flat-plane crank, twin overhead cams and dry sump lubrication. It produces 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, which might be excellent for a pursuit automobile. Sadly, this automobile was used purely for promotional functions.
It might be nice to see a Z06 chasing down criminals, although. It reminds us of all of the high-adrenaline chases we’ve had in NFS Most Needed.
Dwell on the #AutoShow! We’re hiring, come go to one in all our recruiters and take a look at the OPP Corvette that was donated to us by Chevrolet for show at #AutoShow50 https://t.co/1k7LFUjN76
