Devon and Cornwall Police now have a £90,000 sports car in its possession - and it goes up to 186mph.

The Norfolk-based company Lotus UK has loaned the sports car to the force for one year.

But you're unlikely to see it out and about on the roads.

The grey Lotus Evora GT410 Sport is being used by police to increase community engagement and road safety awareness. It will not be used for response or patrol work.

It can go from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and hit speeds of 186mph.

Police say the car has "only recently come into the force but it's on loan for one year".
