When thinking about the automotive landscape in Volvo's home town, Gothenburg, Sweden, one would imagine tame rides, be they new or retro. Well, don't jump to conclusions just yet, as we have one Gothenburg car that comes to shock.
We're talking about a Nissan GT-R that was dressed up to look like a... police car. Mind you, the Swedes haven't followed the Dubai Police down the supercar route - like we said, this is a civilian car that's just impersonating a cop car.
The starting point was one of the early model year GT-Rs (notice the lack of LED daytime running lights in the front apron. These were introduced starting from 2011). The project was handled by a company called Bilcity Superbike, which, as its name explains, handles two-wheeled go-fast machines, but isn't shy when it comes to four wheels either.
The Swedish Godzilla is wearing a full police livery, so it would be rather easy for passers by to mistake it for a pursuit vehicle. Of course, there are certain elements that, once installed, would have put the GT-R on the wrong side of the law, so these were skipped.
The list of no-nos obviously starts with the light bar and goes on inside the car, where the specific police equipment is missing. Speaking of the cabin, we have to explain that the GT-R is one of the most spacious cars in its class, which means that if somebody actually wanted to transport bad guys in the back, this would be possible.
Instead of police lights, this GT-R features... a generously-sized fixed wing at the rear. Enough to draw even more attention on the street.
Yes, we know, those blacked out headlights are a bit borderline, but the metal scene in Sweden has taught us there's a lot of darkness in the area, so we understand.

How close is this GT-R to the actual police cars in Sweden?
This Nissan does a dangerously close impersonation of the patrol cars in Gothenburg. You don't even have to take our word for this. We've included a photo (it's a real world pic) of a Volvo police car from over there, so you can easily make a comparison.Yes, we know, those blacked out headlights are a bit borderline, but the metal scene in Sweden has taught us there's a lot of darkness in the area, so we understand.
